The most versatile essential oil I use, peppermint should be stocked in everyone's medicine cabinet and first-aid kits because of its immediate cooling, anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effects. It helps almost every body system, including the skin.
Powerful Cooling Effect:
Hot Flash Relief: Apply to skin or take a drop in a glass of water
Fevers: Many people have found that it can help break a fever. Peppermint works through a centrifugal force to push heat from the inside of the body out to the surface.
Skin Relief: Cools the skin and feels wonderful on a hot, itchy rash. It sometimes helps intense itching and provides almost immediate relief when applied to hives.
Mental Focus and Memory: Inhaled, it improves concentration and memory. Helps students and others to remain focused with a sharp memory
Annoying itchy rash
Relieves Discomfort: Peppermint oil is high in Menthol, the primary cooling compound that triggers cold-sensitive nerve receptors and stops the creation of swelling molecules. Menthol also blocks calcium channels in nerves, which lowers muscle spasms and decreases pain feelings in the body. Peppermint oil is also high in Menthone, A major cyclic compound that stops the release of proteins that cause swelling. Peppermint oil help reduce inflammation when used topically and can often relieve pain. I've often used it to relieve the pain of a stubbed toe or other injury and felt almost immediate relief.
Gut Relief: Research shows it can stop colonic spasms
Promotes Healthy Liver and Gallbladder Function: Encourages healthy bile flow from the liver. Gentle liver cleanser and anti-inflammatory effect on the entire digestive and biliary tracts.
Ant Repellent: In the kitchen, it can serve as a natural ant repellent
Potent and it works!01/28/2015 ByTim Smith Hi,
I've been using Dr.Fosters Peppermint Essential Oil because it's the only one I know out of other brand comparisons that tastes, smells, and works the best. I've dealt with indigestion, slow digestion, and sometimes stagnant digestion. I take a drop or two internally with very little water and shoot it down quick for indigestion and it simply blasts it away literally on contact after I swallow! I've noticed that I don't really get indigestion much at all anymore. I'm sure it's a combination of cleansing and the peppermint essential oil. Also very good for headaches and relaxing the muscles as well. Dr.Foster products are what she claims and then some. I've been using them for years. Thanks Dr.Foster!
Treat allergy/wheezinb07/09/2018 ByAllie I use this for both my sons that has mild wheezing whenever they are sick. If they’ve got sneezing, running nose I use it too. I’ll put one drop in their water each and they drink it.
Potency: The essential oil of peppermint is many times stronger than a peppermint tincture - only 1 or 2 drops are needed at a time
Our Very Unique Peppermint Oil: This peppermint oil comes from the Pacific Northwest directly from the farm where it is grown and distilled. The Pacific Northwest is known for the highest quality peppermint in the country.
Distillation Process: This oil is steam distilled at low temperature and low pressure to extract many phytoconstituents that would normally not be extracted. The result is a lovely, complex and very rare peppermint oil with many subtle overtones and undertones with additional therapeutic properties that those constituents add to the oil.
Never Triple-Distilled: It is very common in the industry to triple distill the oil to get a crisper "minty" smell. A lot of this triple distilled oil is sold to the gum and mint industry and smells like a candy cane, but this is not what high quality single distilled therapeutic grade peppermint oil is supposed to smell like. When an essential oil is triple distilled, some therapeutic components can be destroyed. Dr. Fosters Essentials peppermint oil is very unique and rare in that it has been distilled only once - NOT triple distilled. I applied a drop to a rash and felt the cooling sensation for over half an hour!
Therapeutic Grade: This oil contains the highest grade of essential oil - therapeutic grade
Clinically-Proven: This wildcrafted therapeutic grade essential oil blend has been clinically proven in Cynthia Foster M.D.'s practice for over 25 yrs. It is very rare to find a conventionally trained medical doctor who has been using holistic healing methods for decades. Learn more about Dr. Foster
