Energize your mind, find concentration and create a stimulating environment with this refreshing essential oil. It noticeably combats tension and exhaustion while also easing the symptoms of headaches and nausea.

It also works as an effective insect repellent. Use it in a diffuser to invigorate the air around you, or blended into a base oil for a reviving rub. Considered a top note when combined with other essential oils, it pairs well with spearmint, mint morocco, cajeput, grapefruit, lavender and rosemary.

Reviews
“Zippy oil, but use sparingly
This is a refreshing, invigorating, zippy oil – but use sparingly. A drop or two will do the trick. Any more and it’ll be too strong, almost to the point of stinging your eyes. This was my savior when I took a boat trip last summer. I kept a tissue with a drop or two of this on it to inhale whenever those waves of sea sickness nausea came over me.

Directions for Use
In the bath add 2 –3 drops of essential oil to a natural emulsifier such as a base oil, cream, honey, liquid soap or sea salts. To create a body, massage or bath oil blend 5 to 15 drops of either just peppermint oil or a combination of different essential oils into 50 ml of a base oil. To experience the aromatherapeutic benefits, add a few drops of peppermint oil to a bowl of hot water and inhale the healing steam. You can also use the oil in a fountain, burner or diffuser.
