Advantages: A real pick-me up

Disadvantages: None if used properly

Peppermint oil has a wonderfully uplifting aroma. If you are feeling tired after a long day at work (or play) put a few drops of Peppermint oil on a tissue or handkerchief and inhale and it will pick you up no end. It is very good used it this way for all kinds of nausea too (from travel to morning sickness)

If you have a cold or blocked up nose put a few drops in bowl of hot water and cover the head with a towel over the bowl and this will help to clear your head (as will a bath with five drops of the oil). Eucalyptus and Lemon oils are also good used in this way.

Peppermint oil should never be used neat on the skin, it should always be blended with a carrier oil and should always be used sparingly.
