Oil of the month: Peppermint!
Peppermint can help with a significant amount of ailments including sinus congestion, headaches, circulation, fevers, digestive issues, concentration, and muscle & joint pain.
Add a few drops to your bath for mild aches and pains, massage onto your feet for sinus congestion, rub onto the back of your neck and scalp for a headache, or rub directly onto problematic muscles and joints. Peppermint can be very strong, so be sure to use a carrier oil, especially if using on children.
Much like lavender oil, peppermint essential oil is soothing in small amounts but becomes a stimulant in larger amounts.
A word of caution: Peppermint can stimulate the uterus, so please use this oil with caution if you are pregnant.
