🌿 Peppermint for Cooling & Nausea

Why I Love It

Peppermint has been a refreshing, go-to scent in our home for years. Its crisp aroma instantly brings a cooling sensation — a welcome relief during warm days, stuffy moments, or those times when the air just feels heavy. I’ve also found it to be a comforting scent when feeling unsettled or queasy.

How I Use It

• For cooling: A drop of peppermint essential oil in a bowl of cool water, then a damp cloth placed on the back of the neck or forehead.

• For nausea: Simply inhaling the aroma — either from the bottle, a diffuser, or a cotton ball — can feel calming.

• In blends: Mixed with a carrier oil for a light massage along the temples, shoulders, or feet.

A Few Tips

• Always dilute essential oils before applying to skin.

• Keep away from eyes and sensitive areas.

• A little goes a long way — peppermint is potent.
