Peppermint is one of the oils with the widest range of applications! It is one of the most effective natural painkillers and muscle relaxers on account of its cooling, antispasmodic properties. It provides powerful respiratory aid that unclog your sinuses and provide relief for a scratchy throat, as well as relaxing the muscles in your nasal passage and allowing blockages caused by allergies to be released due to its expectorant properties. It also acts as a natural energy stimulant, helping to improve memory and alertness.
Metaphysically: Peppermint is invigorating and stimulating to the mind, enhancing focus, concentration, and memory. It can also help to clear negative energy and promote a sense of mental clarity and freshness. It's associated with energy, purification, and new beginnings.
Safety is paramount when working with pure essential oils. This blend is potent and should always be diluted with a carrier oil (such as jojoba, almond, or fractionated coconut oil) before topical application. A general guideline is 1-3% dilution (e.g., 5-15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier oil). Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. Keep out of reach of children and pets. If pregnant, nursing, or under a doctor's care, consult your physician before use. Diffuse in a well-ventilated area and start with shorter diffusion times to assess your sensitivity.
