United StatesPeppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint is one of my number 10 on the list essential oils a "must" have oils. It is my first I go to when I wake up in the morning, I do not need coffee to open all my senses. The incredible benefits Peppermint essential oil has many potential health benefits from personal experience, including: Digestive issues: Peppermint oil can help with stomach cramps, bloating, and gas when I blend it with other oils in a lotion based. Pain relief: Peppermint oil can help with headaches, muscle aches, and joint pain when I blended in a butter. Colds and sinus infections: Peppermint oil can help with congestion and coughs when I blend with other oils as an inhaler. And much more!
