How to Use / How to Apply

• Headache: Dilute 2 drops in carrier oil; apply to temples, forehead, and neck.
• Nausea: Inhale directly from the bottle or add 3 drops to a diffuser.
• Mental focus: Diffuse 4–5 drops in your study or work area.
• Muscle pain: Mix with coconut oil (1:5) and massage onto sore muscles.
• Steam inhalation: Add 3 drops to hot water bowl; inhale with towel over head.

How It Works

Menthol (the primary compound in peppermint oil) acts on the TRPM8 receptor in the skin — the same receptor responsible for the cooling sensation. This creates an analgesic effect that blocks pain signals. When inhaled, menthol acts as a decongestant by reducing mucous membrane inflammation. It also activates the GABA receptors, which reduce anxiety.
