7 Benefits of Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint essential oil has a very refreshing aroma! I sometimes have used mine as a

bright and cheerful scent to wear, in lieu of toxic perfume.

I also regularly diffuse it around my house, and its aroma always lifts my moodand refreshes me mentally and physiologically.

(Here’s a freebee: insects in the Southeast tend to hate the smell of peppermint. So you can smell great while keeping those pests away! Be sure to dilute the oil in water, though, as it is potent.)

Boosts Your Energy

Feel the need for a boost prior to a good workout at the gym? A drop of two of pure therapeutic grade peppermint essential oil will go a long way!

In one study, all the vitals of twelve healthy males were taken before and after taking “one 500 ml bottle of mineral water, containing 0.05 ml peppermint essential oil for ten days.” 

The results clearly indicated that exercise performance was greatly increased after the participants added even such a minuscule amount of peppermint essential oil to their purified water!

-The results of the experiment support the effectiveness of peppermint essential oil on the exercise performance, gas analysis, spirometry parameters, blood pressure, and respiratory rate in the young male students. Relaxation of bronchial smooth muscles, increase in the ventilation and brain oxygen concentration, and decrease in the blood lactate level are the most plausible explanations. (2)

Next time you head to the gym or off for a jog, try adding a drop of peppermint oil to your glass water bottle and see how great you will feel!
