Peppermint Oil… is it REALLYYYYY that good??

Peppermint!!! Oooooh yah. It’s really really THAT good! 

Who doesn’t love the smell of peppermint anyways?! It is soothing. Uplifting… calming. All the things. 

We use it for : 

🌱Headaches - a drop on temples, and across forehead! 

🚗 Tummy aches /car sickness. One drop works like a charm ! 

🥵 Cooling down a fever or a hot flash;) (for my FRIEND of course!! 😉 ) a drop on the back of neck or rubbed down spine? So nice. Cools ya right off!! 

🧑‍🍳 Rubbed into Sore /tense muscles feels amazing. And gosh a drop tastes so good in a batch of brownies! 

Do you know that not all essential oils are created equal? 

🤔 I remember my first experience with peppermint essential oil given to me as a little gift at the finish line of the Lulu half marathon several years ago. It was from a popular chain store. 
I used it for headaches but it just didn’t do the trick fully. I seemed to have to use  a lot of it quite frequently. It kinda made me think essential oils were ok but not super great. 

And then I smelled Young Living peppermint for the first time and it was potent! I used ONE drop across my forehead and within minutes and I had relief. I didn’t need it again for the rest of the day! 

I knew it in that moment. Quality matters. 😍

Distillation processes matter. I want one or two drops to work well. I don’t want diluted. I don’t want a batch that has been distilled /steamed more than once. (That’s like a watered down cup of coffee! No thanks! Lol ) 
I don’t want chemicals used to make the oils. I want purity because it works. Because it’s safe and effective. Man; I love knowing that every drop out of these bottles are just that!
