How to Use Peppermint Oil
- For headaches: Mix 2–3 drops with a teaspoon of carrier oil and massage into temples and forehead.
- For digestion: Dilute 1 drop in a glass of warm water and drink after meals (use only food-grade oil and consult a doctor first).
- For congestion: Add a few drops to hot water and inhale the steam for 5–10 minutes.
- For sore muscles: Massage diluted oil onto affected areas after exercise.
- For oral health: Add 1 drop to toothpaste or homemade mouthwash for a fresh, clean feeling.
- For insect repellent: Mix 10–15 drops with water in a spray bottle and apply to skin or around the home.
Final Note:
Peppermint oil is highly concentrated, so always dilute it before applying to the skin. Avoid use on infants, small children, and during pregnancy without medical advice.
