(Click to view Part 1: Lavender and Part 2: Lemon)

Used as a popular ingredient to flavor food and candy all over the world, Peppermint essential oil is also a favorite among many for its ability to soothe digestive discomfort, freshen breath, ease headaches, calm nausea, and much more.

Peppermint’s invigorating and energizing aroma can be used to replace morning coffee as a way to wake up, or as an extra boost to waning energy throughout the day.

In one study, the aroma of Peppermint was found to enhance memory, increase alertness, and impact human behavior. Read the complete study here.

Try any of these 33 different ways to use Peppermint essential oil:

Home Use

1. Calm a Tempest. Just one drop of peppermint oil rubbed on the stomach or taken internally can calm indigestion, an upset stomach or other internal digestive commotion. A must-have when traveling!

2. Restore Vitality in the Mouth. When your breath is sharp and your mouth feels furry, peppermint oil with water (and lemon oil) creates a healthy, refreshing mouth rinse that leaves a lasting crisp, clean feeling.

3. It’s About Air Flow. When sinuses seem to be clogged, and throats swollen and scratchy, diffuse peppermint oil (or apply topically on the chest) for almost immediate relief and revitalizing air flow. Peppermint acts as an expectorant and may provide relief for colds, cough, sinusitis, asthma, and bronchitis.

4. Cool the Joints. When the ravages of time wreak havoc on your joints, leaving that hot and achy feeling, peppermint oil mixed with lavender oil cools like an ice bath, but you to stay warm and dry.

5. Feel Full, Faster. Satiety. It’s about feeling full, and not overeating. The aroma of peppermint oil has the ability to make you feel full, faster…especially if you breathe it in during a meal!

6. Cool Your Tootsies. If you’ve been on your feel all day or religiously wear hard soled shoes, just add peppermint oil to a cold water compress to cool your overworked, over heated tootsies.

7. Perk Up. The invigorating aroma of peppermint is a wonderful, non-stimulating way to perk up on long drives, in school, during late night homework or any other time you need to “burn the midnight oil.”

8. Energize Your Lather. Some shampoo and conditioner combos can make you want to go back to sleep. No energy. No pep. No fun. Not good. Add peppermint to your potions to stimulate the scalp, energize and wake up! The oil is an antiseptic in nature, and can also help remove dandruff and lice.

9. Allergies Beware. Peppermint oil has the ability to relax smooth muscles in the body — the same muscles that line our airways and become affected in allergy season. Peppermint oil (with lemon) should certainly be another arrow in your allergy treatment quiver!

10. Chase Away Tension Headaches. Got a mind numbing headache? A few drops of peppermint dabbed on your temples, neck and sinuses can quickly spring into action and chase that headache away!

11. Help Kids Get on the Ball. The next time Junior is a little unresponsive to all that is going on with school and homework, try spritzing a little peppermint on his shirt before study time, placing drop on the tongue or under the nose for improved concentration and alertness.

12. Seep, Soak & Revitalize. After a long day, apply peppermint, let it seep in and then soak in a warm bath or shower. The refreshing peppermint vapor will make you feel cool, relaxed and energized again.

13. Add a Refreshing Kick to Your Tea. Just one drop of peppermint oil can add life to any herbal tea (without having to add lots of sugar) while also aiding in normal digestion or to relieve heartburn.

14. A “Should I Work Out Today?” Antidote. You ask yourself this question. It’s OK. Using peppermint oil prior to exercise immediately awakens your senses and gets you in your right mind so you can crank.

15. A Snack Vendor’s Nightmare. When you get that mid-morning craving, diffuse peppermint oil to reign in the urge to snack on junk food, or anything else that might appear before you.

Cooking & Food

16. Add Zip to All Things Chocolate. Enhance your chocolate in a gazillion ways: gourmet hot chocolate, mint brownie frosting, peppermint bark, peppermint patties, peppermint brownies, peppermint chocolate Bundt cake, red velvet cupcakes with white chocolate peppermint cream cheese, yum!

17. Brisk, Delightful Confections. Peppermint chiffon cake, homemade candy canes, butter mints, peppermint ice cream, peppermint glaze over pastries and cookies, homemade peppermint patties.

18. Unforgettable Beverages. Peppermint water on ice, peppermint mocha, peppermint tea, peppermint hot chocolate, that’s right … it’s all delish.

Body & Mind

19. Wake Up Your Mind. Peppermint oil activates the limbic function in your brain. The limbic function helps control things like emotions and long-term memory and is related to olfactory structures in your nose.

20. An Itch Fix. If you have the after effects of a sunburn where skin is a little warm and itchy, apply a drop of peppermint oil (mixed with lavender) to cool, soothe and stop itching.

21. Theme Park Relief. If you’ve got that “I my gosh, I can’t believe I just went on a spinning ride” feeling, four or five drops of peppermint rubbed on the stomach can calm smooth stomach muscles and help dispel discomfort.

22. Travel to the Arctic, Without Traveling. When you add a few drops of peppermint to your ice water, it not only improves the taste, but also leaves you with a feeling of cool, refreshing arctic wind in your airways!

23. Burrow No More. If you find a tick has decided to make your skin its home, just give that tick a nice bath of peppermint oil with a cotton swab. The tick will stop burrowing, remove its head and then he’s yours.

24. Don’t Make It Easy on the Critters. Many household bugs do not like peppermint oil — ants, aphids, beetles, plant lice, mice and cockroaches try to steer clear of peppermint. Just add to water in a spray bottle and spray where you think pests grace you with their presence! peppermint

25. Clean Naturally. Peppermint oil is a wonderful natural cleaning agent because it has anti fungal and antibacterial properties. Spray on counter tops and bathroom surfaces, scrub, and enjoy cleaner clean.

26. Sleep Like a Baby. If you find you are having a hard time sleeping, peppermint oil helps activate cold-sensitive receptors in the skin and mucous tissues. When used this way, it may help with insomnia.

28. It’s About a State of Mind. Someone’s mental outlook can be a game changer. If they are shocked, stressed out or nervous, peppermint oil may help restore feelings of normalcy and balance.

29. Tame a Toothache. Peppermint oil can act as a concentrated natural pain killer and muscle relaxant, especially with painful gums, teething or recent dental work.

30. Alleviate Internal Strife. When used topically or internally, peppermint is a favorite for fresh relief from cramping, indigestion to diarrhea. Skip the antacids and go with peppermint oil!

31. For That “Marathon in Clogs” Feeling. When you feel like you've just run a marathon in clogs, and your feet are a hot mess of ouch, massage peppermint oil onto aching feet, joints, and strained muscles.

Some truth about Hand sanitizers

 The Truth about sanitizer that company's don't want you to know.

An ingredient in many hand sanitizers, soaps, and deodorants may harm the heart and muscles.

A 2012 study reports that that the antibacterial chemical triclosan impaired muscle function in fish and mice, according to researchers at the University of California, Davis, and the University of Colorado.

In test tube experiments, triclosan also hindered the ability of isolated heart muscle cells and skeletal muscle fibers to contract. The effects of triclosan on cardiac function were really dramatic. 

Although triclosan is not regulated as a drug, this compound acts like a potent cardiac depressant in our models. However, it’s not yet known if the chemical is harmful to people. The FDA and the EPA are conducting new risk assessments, while the researchers call for “a dramatic reduction in its use. 

Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer is frequently used in hospitals and medical facilities, and does not contain the chemical triclosan.

Exposure to everyday germs during childhood may prevent diseases later in life. 

A 2009 study by Northwestern University found that kids raised in ultra-clean environments may have higher levels of inflammation as adults, which could boost risk for heart attack, stroke and other dangerous disorders.

Conversely, kids who grow up in less hygienic environments have five to seven times lower levels of the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein as young adults.

 There are lots of ways we can kill the bad germs and keep the good ones to help us on our journey to being strong and healthy.

lose weight and balance you body.

                Slim and Sassy  

         This Oil blend is a great thing to help in your goal to lose weight. Or maby just help balance your body's Digestion system. When it is doing that, you will normally automatically lose some weight right away. And not only that you will start to feel better and have more energy.  There has been so many great story's with this stuff. 

       So my teenage Daughter ( 17 yrs old )  , wasn't having physical education in school any more , wasn't playing any sports and wasn't really doing much of anything to burn calories.  She was also starting to get that kind of square look. And not much curve. So she asked me if she could start using the slim and sassy.   Here's the great thing about these essential oils. I don't have to worry about them hurting her or her having a hard time gaining it back right away.  The great thing about this blend is that it is designed to reduce the size of the fat cell and eventually eliminate them. instead of most other weight loss stuff that reduces the cells But then when you stop taking it they balloon back up even Quicker. That is because the cells aren't going anywhere. they are just temporarily  Smaller. AS long as you keep feeding them the diet pills or starving yourself. the cells will reduce in size. But with out proper exercises to covert those cells to muscle they will just always keep coming back..  So do you guess why i love this blend. Not only can you lake it under your tong, internally in water or capsule, But you can also rub it on your trouble areas to pinpoint your loss.. I love that.. Your cellulite areas. This works great. 

      Ow sorry, I got off track a bit. So Harley, My daughter, Starting doing the recommended absorbency daily.  They recommend for best results 25 drops a day over all. that is topically , internal. All of it . 25 drops a day. So she would keep a water bottle full and slim and sassy in that. And she would spray in on her back of her legs and her belly and sides. She was praying 15 drops in a 2 oz spritzer bottle  and the rest water, shake and spray. Be careful of you privates. Kind of warm if it gets there. Just saying....  I think she was doing 5 drops a day under her tong. ( through out the day) 6-8 drops in her 24 oz water bottle a couple times a day. 

      She wasn't eating as often and she wasn't eating as much ether. She said that she just got full faster.. Ow and she really did no exercise other than to and from school. and in the hall. Other than that nothing more. In 3 months she lost 17 pounds. she looks great , She has her shape back and she said she feels great.  click her for products

     That is a good average weight loss too. you don't want to try to loose too much too fast of your body can't keep up. And you can lower you immune system that way. so always make sure we're still feeding our body what it needs on a daily bases.

      Some people may look at this as a , I can't believe you would let your daughter go on a diet!!!! But here is the thing. I didn't , Its not a diet, it is balancing your body. So that your body functions the way it is suppose to. By taking the good out of our food we eat and getting rid of the bad. Instead of storing it in our body's and stock piling it.  This is just a blend of essential oils.. 

       It contains:   Grapefruit, Lemon, Peppermint, Ginger, and cinnamon.   None of it will hurt you only help you.. i am a firm believer that our children in the US are the heaviest i have ever noticed. And i feel like if more parents addressed or tried to balance there child's metabolism. They wouldn't be as sick as often and the major health issues would reduce tremendously.  Check out more about slim and sassy in my product at the top.

Cuts and Burns

                                        

                                         Cuts and Burns

            I'm sure i have went over this once or twice, But Here we go. I am so graceful that after dinner on sat. night I  fell out side of the restaurant. Yep that's me. And I know this so I usually try to prevent these things from happening. But not this time. we walked out of the restaurant and there was a garbage can with a ashtray in the top. those big kind. well it as at the end of the exit,. And it was me and my family , so 5 of us and I go to move over for them to all come on to the side walk , and I stepped  into a planter like flower bed. Kind of stepped down into into it , and then when I went to step out I tripped on a curb on the other side of the flower bed and down I went. Yep . lay ed my But out.. Peeled a pretty good chunk off  my hand . and bruised my knee really good. 

     But the thing that make me soooo mad. I was the one carrying  the left overs. So that was all over the parking lot.. and my family is laughing at me after they know I'm OK , Because my husband says, It's just my luck.. And It is true. But when things go right, they go right.  

    OK , Back to the hand. I took a picture this time so , Yaaaa  and I used purify essential oil blend as soon as I got in the car with frankincense.. And when I got home, I used helichrysum. Ow my word is that a powerful oil... I could not believe what I saw it do to my cut. I took the band aid off when I got home, had my daughter take a picture. You know when you can see the red little blood dots starting to come out of your flesh. Well they were like that as soon as the air hit it.  then I put the Helichrysum on it. It automatically started to neutralize the blood. It totally went from red to pink , to pail in color in a mater of seconds.  It kind of stung just a little bit, But not bad at all. Hasn't bled sense  ether. I love that stuff.  So this picture is Saturday night , the night it happened. 

Then this picture is tonight. Only one full day really. I can't believe it. the skin that was laid over it decided to come off today. but it look great underneath. I don't think I have ever seen something heal so fast before. This is crazy... If anyone wants to get some, make sure to check out my Products and get a hold of me at any time with any Questions.  Contact me  And 360-623-9804 Cell.

 Do you see how the middle is just light pink.  That was all fleshy red when i put the Helichrysum. Now it is just rebuilding the skin... I will keep you posted on the progress and how long it takes to fully heal..

    

    These products really are a necessity not a commodity. The health care is just getting worse, and so is the medication that they are prescribing to the patients. The side effects are a mile long, and the thing that is suppose to be getting rid of is nothing compared to what the medication can cause at times... I am not saying that some times we need what the doctors give us, I just think that if we can address our own situation and try to fix it first then , why not? i love that DoTERRA has put all these at our hands and accessible to get.. That has always been the big challenge in the past. Was where can you find Good, Pure , Herbs and the proper things to cook down and treat the illness. 

 Well now we have it in its purest form. Essential oils. We just need to use them ... Let me show you how To use them and how to get them at wholesale price... Contact me

 

       This is great for Burns too. If you have a very deep Burn , I would hit it with helichrysum , If it is just a surface burn , I would use lavender oil. and it will take the sting out of it and reduce the water and liquid under the skin. I love lavender for so many things too. The list goes on and on... another day perhaps... I look forward to hearing you comments and talking with you.  Till next time , Brook Robles

        This is another picture I found that shows the great healing power that these essential oils hold..   I thought this one was a good one too.   no relation to me.. Just for your information..
