![]() No need to reach for the caffeine – peppermint oil can improve mental clarity, reduce brain fog and raise your energy levels. If you’re looking to de-stress, run a bath and pour in a few drops of peppermint and lavender essential oils for ultimate relaxation. ![]() Like many other essential oils such as lavender, peppermint oil can be used to give relief from stress, anxiety, depression and mental exhaustion due to its naturally refreshing properties. Carefully pour boiling water into a suitable bowl, add a few drops of essential oil, then drape towel over your head and position your face a good distance away from the bowl and breathe in the steam – you’ll feel as though you’re in the Volcanic salt bath at Ragdale Hall… well… Almost! Alternatively, for an added ‘spa at home’ feeling, try a peppermint oil steam – but make sure you take care when doing this. To get the full benefits, use a carrier oil (such as coconut oil) and rub 2-3 drops onto your chest for a natural alternative to an over-the-counter medication. Menthol, the active ingredient in peppermint oil, can act as a natural decongestant which can help to relieve symptoms of the common cold including sore throats, congestion and respiratory problems. Peppermint does a lot more than just freshen your breath, and if you suffer from digestive problems, nausea, hiccups, colds or headaches, peppermint essential oil could help to alleviate some of your symptoms due to its muscle relaxation, antibacterial and cleansing properties.
