The scent of peppermint oil not only gives me relief when I have a cold, I also use it to massage my body from body ache due to colds.
Peppermint oil is so awesome when you wake up in the morning if you don't want to do coffee. I keep it by my bed and just take a deep breath to help me wake up. You can actually buy soap with real peppermint oil that you can use in the shower. I also keep it in my office and take a deep breath throughout the day.
Peppermint oil is my wake up oil and Lavender is my go to sleep oil. :-) Better than speed and tranquilizers any day. Right?
Yes i use a few drops peppermint oil massaged around my temples to relieve light headaches after a long car ride and if you have a fever and you mis it with some carrier oil like jojoba or olive oil and apply it to the torso you can reduce temperature by 2 to 4 degrees in no time :-)
Hello, I love peppermint too. When I have cough and colds and I need to be in the office, I use peppermint oil in my burner and the office smells good too. My officemates jokes around that the office smells like a spa but surely I know they love it too.
