The fresh, crisp aroma of Peppermint is a popular oil. It can be uplifting, refreshing, stimulating and clarifying. It is a fascinating oil that when used in very low dilutions it can have a cooling effect, but when used in higher dilutions it can be warming. Peppermint essential oil is a must-have for every enthusiast.
On a metaphysical level, Peppermint inspires us into action and gives us clarity. If you are feeling dazed and confused then perhaps Peppermint can give you the clarity you need. It will move you to feel purposeful, understood and with a clear vision of what to do.
Safety with Peppermint
The following blends are for your diffuser only.
Be mindful of using Peppermint topically if you have any underlying health conditions or take medication to ensure there are no potential interactions. Peppermint can cause irritation to some, so we also suggest doing a patch test first if you are applying it topically.
