I also love Young Living oils but if you are looking for a one-time purchase, this is the way to go. This is the brand I use (affiliate link) from Plant Therapy. Many are diluted with additional oils, additives and chemicals and if you are going to ingest them or put them on your body they need to be pure. That’s why I recommend purchasing yours from a reliable source. What about peppermint oil? Aren’t they all the same? Specific to the mint family is a compound called Rosmarinic Acid which helps reduce symptoms of allergies like runny nose, itchy eyes and even asthma. Peppermint oil has been shown to fight E.coli and Staphylococcus–a bacteria that causes some cases of pneumonia. Typically more from the oil than the tea, breathing in the smell of mint can help put a little pep in your drowsy step. Peppermint has been shown to support energy levels throughout the day. Keep in mind that peppermint oil does have side effects, so make sure it’s okay with your doctor to use the oil before you pick any up and dilute it heavily with a carrier oil before applying it to children–and never on babies younger than 3 months old. Need proof? Check out this study where over 2,000 children used peppermint to manage abdominal pain. Sipping on a freshly brewed tea is a great option (recipe to follow) but the essential oil applied to the abdomen is also helpful. Nausea, bloating, diarrhea, and indigestion may all be eased with a bit of peppermint. Peppermint is often my own first line of support for headaches here at home. In one study, 35 people who used peppermint oil had reduced pain after two hours compared to a placebo oil.
When used in the essential oil form, peppermint has been shown to relax muscles and the tingling sensation reduces pain. When the plant itself is utilized–whether fresh, dried or even in a concentrated high quality essential oil, its benefits come full circle. There’s power in the plant! Jump to RecipeĪ blend of spearmint and water mint, peppermint is made for much more than your convenience store chewing gum.
