Fans of Kamala Health & Beauty are familiar with our Aromatherapy Blend which we call "Coolth." Peppermint is the major ingredient is that blend which has saved many a Renaissance faire participant from heat exhaustion. Peppermint is the most cooling of essential oils. It can be used to reduce fevers and relieve hot flashes. A few drops of Peppermint in a skin oil or shampoo brings a refreshing, cooling tingle to the skin or scalp. It can also help relieve the discomfort of eczema and scabies. One drop of Peppermint oil on the tongue is often used for disorders of the digestive system. It can stop nausea, indigestion, and flatulence in both humans and animals. Peppermint is an excellent general stimulant. It can be used to relieve depression, PMS, mental fatigue, stress, jet lag, feelings of sluggishness, and migraine headaches. Essential oil of Peppermint is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic. It has the capability of opening the respiratory passages, making it an ideal remedy for sinus infections, asthma, bronchitis, and general coughs and colds. As with all essential oils, Peppermint should be used sparingly and should not be used on infants. |
