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.
- Breathing Relief: Opens narrowed breathing passages
- 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
