Why Everyone Should Have Peppermint Oil

One of the most common and most beneficial essential oils available is peppermint oil. 
There are a long list of uses for this oil, from helping with headache to improving tight 
muscles. Take a look at some of the best uses for peppermint essential oil.

It Relieves Muscle pain

If you have been dealing with a lot of muscle pain and tension, try some peppermint oil. 
There are a few ways you can relieve muscle aches with this essential oil. The first 
option, which might be the easiest, is to add a few drops to your bath water. On the 
days when the muscle tension is the worst, take a nice warm bath with the oils, and you 
should start experiencing relief. Another option is to add drops to a spray bottle or bottle 
of lotion, and rub it or spray on your skin. Pay close attention to the areas causing you 
the most pain.

You Can Reduce Inflammation From Skin Issues

Peppermint oil might sound too harsh for the skin, but the opposite is actually true. It is 
often used in first aid kits for various types of skin issues. If you get a burn, peppermint 
has a really cooling mint sensation, similar to what you experience when you apply aloe 
vera to the skin. It can also be used on some cuts and scrapes, but be really careful 
with open wounds. If you burn your hand on the stove or a hot pan, apply some diluted 
peppermint oil with a carrier oil on the burn, and it will heal more quickly.

You Get a Boost of Energy

Want some extra energy in the morning when starting your day? Fill your oil diffuser 
with some peppermint, and the refreshing scent will get you ready for the day. You can 
also try combining other citrus or mint scents that also improve your focus and 
concentration, like lemon, grapefruit, or lemongrass.

It Helps With Digestion

Peppermint essential oil is also ideal for anyone who is dealing with digestive or 
stomach problems. This can be from a medical condition like IBS or acid reflux, or 
simple digestive problems from something you ate that didn’t agree with you. You can 
also use peppermint oil, such as in a peppermint ginger tea, if you are experiencing 
some nausea. Bring peppermint with you on a cruise just in case you get motion 
sickness and need to relieve it.
