Exceptionally useful and multi-purpose, this simple and refreshing farm distilled oil is a one-stop shop for everything from stomach ailments to sexy time.
How To Use
- Add a couple of drops into Sonoran Jojoba Oil or Argan Oil to make a naturally muscle relaxing and calming body and massage oil.
- Add a couple of drops into Sonoran Jojoba Oil or Argan Oil to create an erotic massage oil. The menthol aroma acts to snap the senses awake, helping you to be more aware of arousal and sexual stimulation.
- Add a couple of drops into Sonoran Jojoba Oil or Argan Oil for a cooling and refreshing after workout or after sun body oil that also helps to repel mosquitos.
- Add a couple of drops into Prickly Pear Seed Oil and rub into temples during episodes of headache or migraine.
- One of the easiest and most effective uses of peppermint is as a simple breath freshener. A little dab on the tongue instantly refreshes, kills bacteria, and perks up the inside of the mouth. If straight on the tongue is too strong for you, a natural mouthwash can be made by adding 1-2 drops of peppermint oil to 1/4 cup of fresh water and gargling with it.
- Peppermint oil is an antispasmodic and by reducing cramping of the colon and relaxing the muscles of the gut it can help alleviate all kinds of stomach upset including nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, bloating, and flatulence. A drop added to a glass of water is a refreshing way to take this remedy, and if that’s even too much for your ailing tummy, a strong whiff of this oil is purported to relieve nausea.

Peppermint
Thought to have originated in Northern Africa and the Mediterranean, peppermint shows up throughout history with a variety of medicinal, practical, and even somewhat scandalous uses. Ancient Egyptians used peppermint to calm stomach pains and freshen breath. In ancient Greece the philosopher Aristotle thought mint a potent aphrodisiac and warned Alexander the Great not to let his soldiers partake of any mint while on crusade. Monks in the middle ages used mint as a tooth polisher and by the 1700s mint was being used in Europe for everything from sores and venereal disease to colds and headaches. Still as thoroughly multi-purpose and useful (though not recommended for quite the same pool of ailments) peppermint oil is a fantastic tool to battle all manner of indisposition.
