Essential Oil of the Day : Peppermint (Mentha Piperita)


Peppermint has been used by many ancient cultures, including Egyptians, Chinese and American Indians. It is an excellent digestive, respiratory and circulatory oil. And it is an anti-inflammatory and an antiseptic. These qualities make it a good oil in treatment of indegestion, flatulence, bad breath, flu, catarrh, varicose veins, headaches and migraines, rheumatism, toothache, and fatigue. It even keeps mice, fleas and ants away!

In subtle aromatherapy, peppermint is said to act on the ego, helping to overcome the feeling of inferiority. And others say that it is an oil that would be beneficial for those in need of insight and inspiration as it enhances our receptive capacities on mental and spiritual levels.
