STEP 12 - MINT OILS 1 : PEPPERMINT ESSENTIAL OIL

broken image

When cooking with Mint Oils, try substituting one drop Essential Oil for one tsp dried mint leaves or one tbs fresh mint leaves, such as PEPPERMINT or SPEARMINT.

The PEPPERMINT plant is a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. A high menthol content—like that found in our PEPPERMINT Essential Oil—distinguishes the best quality PEPPERMINT from other products. PEPPERMINT continues to be one of the best-selling favorites among Essential Oils.

Frequently used in toothpaste and chewing gum for oral hygiene, PEPPERMINT also helps alleviate occasional stomach upset and promotes healthy respiratory function.

EVERYDAY USES

• Take one to two drops in a Veggie Capsule to alleviate occasional stomach upset.

• Place one drop in palm of hand with one drop Wild Orange and one drop Frankincense and inhale for a mid-day pick-me-up.
