Use Peppermint Oil To Stay Alert

One useful thing about peppermint oil is that it can help you stay alert.  We use peppermint oil on long trips to help us stay alert at the wheel.  Simply inhale directly from the bottle,  or put a few drops on a cotton ball and place near the driver.  You can even use an essential oil diffuser that is designed for the car. Diffuse when feeling fatigued or low on energy. Combine with Spearmint, Lemon, Lime, or Rosemary essential oils.

Increase Focus With Peppermint Essential Oil

I use peppermint essential oil when I need to focus on a task,  too.  For focus,  combine with In Tune.  Rub the oils on your hands and into the back of your neck.  I have an essential oil recipe for focus.  It is in my blog post, “Learning Blend For Diffuser & DIY Roller Bottle“.

For an extra boost,  rub a few drops of peppermint and wild orange essential oil into your hands and/ or feet.  This is perfect to help you stay alert. Peppermint is stimulating and uplifting emotionally and physically.

Peppermint Oil Benefits A Healthy Respiratory System

Peppermint essential oil supports respiratory health. It opens airways and supports clear healthy breathing!  Plus is smells ahhh-mazing.  I prefer to diffuse when using Peppermint for the respiratory benefit. Promotes healthy respiratory function and clear breathing. Promotes feelings of clear airways and easy breathing when diffused.

A drop or two of peppermint on your tongue will help to freshen your breath,  and give a wonderful feeling of open-ness in your head and sinus cavities! Place one drop in your mouth to help freshen breath. Commonly found in oral health products.

Peppermint Oil Helps Ease Head Tension

Peppermint was one of the first essential oils I ever tried.  I was experiencing a lot of head and neck tension and discomfort.  My good friend,  Christin,  was telling me about Peppermint oil!  She enjoyed a lot of success for her own head and neck tension.  Christin said to try rubbing the peppermint right on my head and neck.  I started using the Peppermint often,  and it helped ease my head and neck discomfort.  That experience helped me understand the power of Peppermint!  🙂  Peppermint is still an oil I use OFTEN. Peppermint is fantastic for head and neck tension!  Re-apply as needed every 15-20 minutes.

Cook With Pure doTERRA Peppermint Oil

doTERRA Peppermint oil is very pure.  It is CPTG grade,  which is the only essential oil grade I am comfortable ingesting.  Because of this,  you can cook with pure doTERRA Peppermint oil!  A favorite recipe is peppermint brownies.  Simply mix as you normally would.  Add a few drops of pure doTERRA peppermint oil to the batter.  Bake as normal.  Viola!  Peppermint brownies!
