Tip Tuesday~ Uses for Peppermint Oil

I've always loved smelly stuff and lately been using aromatherapy (thanks Mom). I like to use oils to help with different ailments and love the way peppermint makes me feel.

Anyways, I was checking out what different oils can do besides just smell good and I found a whole list of what Peppermint can be used for:

For morning pick up~ place drops on shower floor
Add a pep to your step by placing 2 drops on bottoms of socks
Place a diffuser at your desk and first thing in the morning put 2 drops in
Later in the afternoon inhale for a cooling boost
Put a couple drops in the car while you are driving- keeps you alert
To energize at YOGA: mix 6 drops per 1 oz water and spritz your yoga mat
Freshen the bathroom (or any room): mix 6 drops per 1 oz water and spritz in room
Inhale prior to workout routine to amp up the energy
Sore Muscles: add 12 drops per 1 oz of skin care oil and massage muscles- good as new!
Even helps with nausea on boat~ inhale and sail on.
Dilute and rub on temples when feeling the effects of a long day
Transporting Dog~ place 1-2 drops on floor of pet carrier- calming!
