A Guide to Peppermint Essential Oil

For centuries, peppermint has been used for holistic and traditional medicinal purposes. Peppermint is known to help relieve cramps, nausea, asthma and fatigue. The studies have proved that peppermint also helps people suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, but not much research has been done regarding this. Peppermint contains high levels of methanol, and hence its healing properties cannot be easily dismissed. The oil is clear in color and has a tinge of yellow. It has strong, fresh minty aroma, and has a calming and soothing effect on body and mind.

Uses of Peppermint Essential Oil

All essential oils are made from plants or herbs, and their potency is not diluted by using other ingredients, such as moisturizers. If you suffer from colic, asthma, fatigue, fainting, headaches, fevers, nausea, or irritable bowel syndrome, peppermint essential oil can help alleviate the pain. If you suffer from anxiousness, apathy, vertigo, stress or shock, this oil can help lessen the symptoms.

Massage is one of the best ways to use peppermint essential oil. You can dilute the oil with some carrier oil, as this will soften the skin and make it more malleable. Peppermint essential oil is usually highly concentrated, just 2-3 drops are sufficient to handful of carrier oil.

You can also fill the water spritzer with water and add few drops of oil to it. Many stores now offer ceramic oil burners that are used for aromatherapy. After lighting the candle and replacing the lid of the burner, put few drops of peppermint essential oil on the lid. The candle will heat the oil and scent of oil will permeate the air.

Peppermint essential oil blends well with other oils and you can also create your own scent by mixing up your own concoction. This oil blends well with lavender, jasmine, chamomile, lemon, rosemary, orange, spearmint, sandalwood, ylang ylang and tangerine.

Peppermint essential oil uses are numerous. It prevents itchiness and irritation on the skin and also lessens the reddishness. It gives boost to digestive system and prevents body from several gastronomical problems. It is also an effective analgesic and works wonders to combat mental fatigue.
