To refresh tired feet, try blending 4 drops of Peppermint with 10 ml of Sweet Almond oil and massaging this well into the feet. For maximum benefit, the feet can then be soaked in warm or cool water for 10 minutes and patted dry.

Peppermint is a useful addition to massage blends to aid digestion. Try 2 drops of Peppermint in a teaspoon of Grapeseed oil – massage into the abdomen using clockwise strokes.

Subtle Aromatherapy: Peppermint acts on the ego, dispelling pride. It is recommended to help overcome feelings of inferiority. It is associated with cleanliness and assists people who wish to live an ethical life. Peppermint oil enhances concentration and works on another level to facilitate the digestion of new ideas. It is the type of oil that enhances our receptive capacities on mental and spiritual levels and is beneficial for those in need of inspiration and insight.

Caution: Peppermint should not be used during early pregnancy.

External Use Only

FDA not approved

How To Use

  • Massage: Blend a total of 3 to 5 drops of essential oils in 10 ml of carrier oil (Almond oil, Coconut oil, Rosehip Oil, etc) to make a blend suitable for most adults; halve the ratio for children, the elderly and women who are pregnant or nursing.
  • Bath: Dilute up to 8 drops of essential oils in a carrier oil or bath oil and sir into the bath water. Up to 6 drops of essential oils may be added directly to the running water but this is not recommended with essential oils which are irritants for those people with sensitive skin.
  • Vaporizer: Use 6 drops of essential oils in a traditional candle burner or vaporizer to create an aromatic ambiance.
  • Compress: Add 4 or 5 drops of essential oils to a bowl of warm or cold water, soak a clean cloth or sterile gauze in the water and apply to the desired area.
  • Foot bath: Soak feet for as long as possible in a bowl of warm or cold water with 4 or 5 drops of essential oil stirred in (preferably diluted in a carrier oil before being added).
  • Inhalation: With a towel over your head, lean over a bowl of just-boiled water with up to 4 drops of essential oils added – breathe normally for ten minutes. Use fewer drops for children and elderly.
  • Add several drops of essential oils to a plant spray filled with water and shake well to create your own natural room spray.
