Cool, refreshing, stimulating – the benefits and uses of Peppermint
Essential Oil are abundant. But we thought it would be fun to focus
specifically on what it can do to give you a heads up,
literally! So here are 11 things you can do with it just from the neck
up:
Headache Remedy
A natural remedy for a tension headache or migraine, you can apply a
few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil to the forehead and temples. It
has the ability to relax tense muscles, improve
circulation, and has an analgesic effect.
Sinus & Allergy Relief
If your head pain is a case of sinusitis or allergies, Peppermint
Essential Oil is highly effective at relaxing muscles in your nasal
passages blocked by swollen mucus membranes, allowing your
sinuses to unclog and start draining. Inhaling the oil directly or using
a device to diffuse it into the room can provide relief.
Hair and Scalp Health
Peppermint Essential Oil is commonly used in high quality hair care
products because it can naturally nourish damaged hair. Simply add 2-3
drops to your current shampoo to tame frizzy hair. It may
even thicken it, encourage new hair growth or help stop thinning and
hair loss. Peppermint oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties,
helping to eliminate dandruff and has even been used to
remove lice.
Acne Treatment
The anti-microbial properties of Peppermint Essential Oil make it an
excellent ingredient to help treat acne naturally. It aids in oil
secretion in skin, therefore preventing acne. It can also
heal cracked lips, which is why it's often an ingredient in lip balms.
Dental Health
It has been estimated that peppermint has been used to naturally
freshen breath for well over a thousand years. To help prevent bad
breath and the development of the biofilm that contributes to
cavities,add 1-2 drops of therapeutic grade 100% pure Peppermint
Essential Oil to your toothpaste.
Decrease Hunger Cravings
To ward off the munchies and help you feel full faster you can take a
couple of whiffs directly from the bottle of 100% pure Peppermint
Essential Oil or rub a couple drops on your temples or on
your neck.
Diminish Nausea
Whether you are nauseous from pregnancy or experience nausea that is
induced by chemotherapy, just rub 1-2 drops of Peppermint Essential Oil
behind your ears, or use a diffuser to help reduce
nausea symptoms.
Natural Energizer
Forget the energy drinks, instead take a few whiffs of Peppermint
Essential Oil for a non-toxic alternative and it will perk you up for
those times you need sustained energy.
Mental Focus
Peppermint Essential Oil stimulates the mind and can improve mental
focus. It can even help those with ADHD. Add a few drops to a diffuser
or mix a few drops with purified water in a spray bottle
and spritz some at the base of the neck. You can even spray it on a
handkerchief and inhale before study time or a test for improved
concentration and alertness.
Lower a Fever
Peppermint Essential Oil has cooling properties, which make it an
excellent natural alternative to bring down a fever. Mix 2-3 drops of
peppermint oil with about a quarter size amount of coconut
oil and rub it on the forehead and neck.
Sunburn Relief
The menthol in peppermint activates cold-sensitive receptors to cool
burnt skin and the analgesic properties relieve the pain. If you forgot
to apply sunscreen, try mixing 100% natural Peppermint
Essential Oil with a bit of coconut oil and apply it directly to the
skin or dilute it with a little water make a natural homemade sunburn
spray.
Peppermint Essential Oil makes an excellent alternative treatment and
can offer profound benefits. It can be a bit strong for some though, so
we recommend mixing it with a carrier oil, such as
coconut or olive oil, or adding it to some purified water and spritzing
can be beneficial. If you have any specific health concerns please speak
to a healthcare provider before using it for
therapeutic benefits. Audel Naturals recommends and carries only the
highest quality 100% Pure Peppermint Essential Oil.
