Peppermint Essential Oil

For centuries peppermint has been used to soothe digestive difficulties, freshen breath, relieve colic, gas, headaches, heartburn and indigestion. Peppermint essential oil is an oil that should be part of your natural medicine chest. I believe I have used peppermint oil more than any other essential oil, and I use oils all the time. However peppermint is handy and has so many uses I don't think I could name them all.

I have blended countless amounts of peppermint essential oil for many of my clients who are in pain because it takes down inflammation immediately. It also works very well on soothing itchy skin and cools the skin to help your body stay cooler on unbearably hot days. When my sister-in-law went overseas it was 120 degrees there...She was armed and ready with 1 bottle of peppermint essential oil mixed in a wonderful healing Aloe Vera Gel. This combo brought her body temperature down and helped her adjust to the heat. A life savor among our military. In addition it can relieve stomach discomfort...when you are eating foods from foreign lands...you need peppermint essential oils and a bottle of Food Enzymes.
Don’t forget to Bless our Soldiers and when you are sending them care packages with cookies, books and soaps...add some food enzymes and peppermint essential oil...pre-mix it in the Aloe Vera Gel...You will be appreciated!
