dōTERRA Peppermint essential oil is a STAPLE in our household! Especially in the energy sapping summer heat of the South, I find relief by inhaling it straight from the bottle or applying a drop to the back of my neck to help cool me down. It is great to rub on your chest to open airways and improve breathing, on your forehead if you have a headache, and it is a savior for muscle cramps—research has even shown that Peppermint oil decreases your perceived effort (how hard you feel you're working out during training and exercise)—awesome right!! Peppermint oil is high in menthol content; menthol has antispasmodic properties. That means it may relax the muscles in your digestive system, helping with gas, bloating, and tummy aches. (Moms-to-be with morning sickness will find this oil especially necessary!!!) One drop of this oil is the equivalent of 25 cups of peppermint tea! If you're sitting at your desk with the Monday morning blahs (ANY morning blahs!)
