Peppermint essential oil is multi-purpose, earning the reputation of being one of the most versatile oils in the world along with Lavender oil. If you're trying to cut down on calorie intake, inhaling peppermint essential oil can stave off the munchies and can help you feel full faster. If you can’t have a diffuser with you at dinnertime, take a couple of deep sniffs from the bottle.

Battling a rash or poison ivy, applying some peppermint oil mixed with lavender oil and a carrier oil is certain to cool and soothe any itch.

Having a hot flash or do you just need to cool off? Dilute with a carrier oil and use a cotton ball to dab just behind your ears at your neck.

Some prescription medications and over-the-counter medications may adversely interact with peppermint oil. Take necessary precautions or consult your doctor prior to using. Avoid use on children under 6.

Because of the very high menthol content of this oil, it tends to crystalize. We would recommend placing the bottle in a very hot water bath, and changing the water frequently until it is back to its liquid state, then gently agitate before use.
