Diffused, this oil has a cooling effect on the mind and body resulting in a revitalization sensation. A topical application helps with tension headaches, as well as neck, shoulder, and backaches.
Directions: Peppermint can be diluted in carrier oil and applied to the temples and back of the neck when having head and neck tension. Add, well-diluted, to a carrier oil for an uplifting massage. It is also helpful to sniff when having a queasy stomach. Also useful at the end of a long day as a foot-soak, add a few drops to ½ cup of epsom salt dissolved in warm water.
