Peppermint Essential Oil

I have read so many things on Peppermint Essential Oil and so I tried it about a month ago and I love it. When I have a headache I rub a few drops on my forehead, temples and the back of my neck. I use it neat (undiluted) but you can add it to a carrier oil if you find it too strong. When my husband knows I have a headache he puts the oil our air purifier and it makes the whole room smell like peppermint. Here are a few other things to use Peppermint Essential Oil for: injury inflammation, poison ivy, poison oak, aphids, animal ticks, house paint fumes, house rats, cockroaches, ants, arthritis, cold congestion, stomach issues, fever, heartburn, hiccups, indigestion, nausea, skin itching, sore feet, travel sickness, appetite reducer, bad breath, concentration, energy boost, pain reliever and to flavor food. If you would like the instructions on how to use Peppermint Essential Oil for these things please place your question as a comment below and I will answer it. As you could see this post would be really long if I gave the ways to use the oil for all of the things I listed above. If you are looking to purchase Peppermint Essential Oil you can go to Peppermint essential oil to find the place where I purchase my essential oils online or you can go to your local health store or herb shop to buy them. When buying essential oils make sure they are 100% Pure. If you just buy the scent like used in making candles and perfumes you are not getting the medicinal properties that you need. Like I said before if you have any questions please place them in the comments below; if I don't know the answer I will research and find it.

  3. How would it help with bugs and rats? That was very interesting to hear about pepermint oil. I have heard it being used for indigestion and in cooking but nothing like getting rid of bugs.
    That would be cool in the winter when they want to come in out of the cold.

  4. To deter rats, mice, roaches or ants, place two drops of Peppermint oil on a cotton ball and place along the path or point of entry for these pests. You can also buy Citronella oil and use for detering outside insects.
