2.Gut Health

Make peppermint tea to calm your stomach. It is as easy as adding a drop of Peppermint Essential Oil to some almost boiling water. The aroma from the cup will clear you nose and the drink itself will help settle your stomach.
Add a few drops of Peppermint Essential Oil to an empty capsule and take with a glass of water. I use this with a blend of other oils to improve my gut health. I blend Peppermint Essential Oil with Oregano Essential Oil , Thyme Essential Oil and Lavender Essential Oil. Blending Oregano Essential Oil with Peppermint Essential Oil is effective as they work together synergistically. This blend is useful after big events such as Christmas where we may over indulge!

4.Cooling Off

On a hot day you can use your Peppermint Essential Oil to help cool down. I keep an old doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil Bottle with a spray nozzle in my handbag at all times. This bottle contains a few drops of oil and some water. I shake the mixture and spray around my neck and chest to cool down.
