Time To Experience The Amazing Health Benefits Of Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint essential oil boasts an abundance of health benefits that make it one of the most popular essential oils in aromatherapy. This pleasing oil provides a cooing sensation, and also has a amazing calming effect on the body. Peppermint oil also has natural anti-microbial properties, which is one reason you often see it featured as a top ingredient in mouthwash preparations.

Peppermint is actually a cross between spearmint and water mint. Typically, the essential oil is processed by steam distillation of fresh peppermint leaves. The pleasant cooling sensation results from its menthol and menthone content.

Peppermint is often used for relief of nausea, and is also indicated for stomach issues as it has a natural soothing effect on the gastric lining and colon.

Peppermint oil, when consumed in capsules, has been shown to be effective in the natural treatment of IBS (irritable bowel syndrome).

Some of the primary benefits of peppermint include:

eases stomach aches
aids healthy digestion
freshens bad breath
helps relieve headaches
boosting memory and focus

As noted below, the peppermint essential oil is highly effective, but you can also use the fresh leaves and plants for pleasing health benefits as well. Please enjoy and consider sharing with others! 🙂

Peppermint offers an inexpensive and enjoyable way to improve your memory and focus. There are several ways you can use peppermint to enhance brain function. Next time you need to clear your head or improve your focus, try one of these:

1. Peppermint essential oil is a favorite in aromatherapy and can be used in a variety of ways. Make a peppermint mist by combining a few drops of peppermint essential oil with one cup of water in a spray mister. Spray a light mist whenever needed. Or add a few drops of peppermint oil in a handkerchief and take the refreshing scent of peppermint with you wherever you go.

2. Fresh mint gives off a strong and pleasant aroma. Grow mint indoors and keep the plant by a desk or anywhere concentration is needed. You can also dry fresh mint leaves and use them for tea or cooking.
