Peppermint
What you need to know
Fresh, nostalgic, and instantly recognizable, Peppermint essential oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of peace.
Used topically, Peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favorite for sports massage and an important part of Young Living’s Raindrop Technique®.
When your day is dragging—through a workout, class, or day at work—enjoy some Peppermint oil benefits by applying it to your head and neck. The refreshing aroma will give you a boost of positivity!
Peppermint is also a great option for diffusing on its own or mixed with another of your favourites.
Peppermint is a key ingredient in PanAway®, AromaEase®, Aroma Siez™, Relieve It™, and Deep Relief™ essential oil blends.
Peppermint uses:
After a tough workout, dilute a few drops of Peppermint in V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex, and use it in a refreshing post-workout massage.
Create your own home spa! Add Peppermint and Eucalyptus Radiata to hot bath water and enjoy the relaxing, invigorating scent and aromatic steam.
Peppermint is in the same family as both Lavender and Rosemary. Diffuse the oils of these powerful botanicals together for a fresh aroma that uplifts the spirit.
Topical: Dilute with V-6™ coconut or olive oil.
Rub one drop on the temples, forehead, over the sinuses (careful to avoid contact with your eyes), and on the back of the neck after a long day.
Place a drop under your nose to help improve concentration and alertness.
Apply to the back of the neck and shoulders throughout the day to help you stay cool and keep energy up.
Inhale or rub a drop on your abdomen to soothe minor stomach discomfort.
Fantastic to use before, during and after your workouts.
Improve concentration and increase mental sharpness. Diffuse when the kids are doing homework or you have a project that needs completing.
This is particularly good oil when there is resistance to learn a new subject or to move in a new direction. It cools and calms the mind and eliminates the fear of the unknown.
