Peppermint Oil Benefits and Uses

For more info: draxe.com/pepp...
Today I’m going to talk to you about peppermint essential oil and it’s numerous benefits and uses. There are over 1000 medical studies alone on peppermint essential oil that prove it helps your digestive track, improves breath, and fights cancer. What makes peppermint so powerful is the compound in it called menthol, which helps reduce inflammation and acts as an antioxidant.
One of the most common ways peppermint oil is used is as a breath freshener in toothpaste. Other ways it’s used is as a mouthwash, as an energy booster, to help IBS and leaky gut issues, to open airways for allergies, asthma, or bronchitis, and to ease headaches. For more on peppermint oil, you can check out my article here: draxe.com/peppe...

I use peppermint oil Everyday. I keep in my handbag and one on the nightstand. I use on my forehead for calming my nerves in traffic, when I have a headache 🤕. Put it by my nostrils with deep breathing. Especially before bed helps relax and get good sleep. I drink as a tea. Thank you dr Axe🙏🏻

How do you prepare it as a tea?

I have been using the homemade tooth paste, the peppermint and water mouthwash, I put peppermint in my tea and my smoothies. I have been doing it for years and I am healthier. I have asthma, IBS, and other digestive problems, I have not been hospitalized in over a year. I say it works and it is okay.

@@KSandy-iy6fg Make sure it is organic. Dr. Axe also sells a "Dietary Supplement" version. It is more expensive because he had to pay for the labeling certification process. I am a big fan of and have done a great deal of research on essential oils. As long as you buy "organic" versions, make sure it is cold pressed or expeller processed (not extracted by chemical distillation) it is totally safe to ingest! After all, it is nothing more than a plant given to us by mother nature herself! Much safer than those petrol chemical poisons big pharma and the medical industry peddles!! Also look for "Therapeutic Grade" when purchasing. If it's not safe to ingest, it's not safe to apply to the skin, which is after all, our largest organ.

PEPPERMINT OIL is my go-to Lifesaver for chronic migraines (that I've had since the age of 5!?!) So I apply the oil directly to where the migraine pain is coming from (which actually is in unknown reason of a hole in my skull on the left side of my head that is medically unexplainable and not supposed to be there!!!) But it seriously helps so much by relaxing and numbing that area and the area around it - and also helps with the nausea that goes hand-in-hand with chronic migraines (as I normally get physically sick due to the severe pain!!!) So I am careful where I directly Place pure oils on my body, and have experienced skin irritations - like on my face, but as far as on my head - like under my hair it is a God sent Miracle of Mother Nature!!!

A couple weeks ago I just could not stand the pain so I went to a health good store and bought almond oil and peppermint oil as well we lemongrass oil. I went home and first rubbed some almond oil on my arms and then put 3 or 4 drops of peppermint oil and rubbed it into my sore muscles. Circular motions (you can youtube how to safely rub your own arms) I spent at least 5 mins on each arm and honest to God they felt better the next day and still feel better than they did. I would say make this a routine once a week to keep up the results. I had my husband do the same on my back and it helped immensely on my back as well! I have not used the lemongrass oil yet but it is supposed to be good for circulation.

Hi, sorry about your mum's situ. Just to let you know even if all else fails, Jesus can heal her of this if you / she is willing to choose to believe. Please check out a church called UCKG Helpcentre (or Universal Church). There is a young pregnant woman whose testimony I watched with my own eyes who a few years ago was given a couple of weeks / months to live by doctors after she contracted the disease from her boyfriend. They wanted to remove her baby as they did not believe she could bring it to term. Anyway, long story short, the church taught her how to use her faith in God to receive total healing and 7 years later not only is she NOT dead but her child came out healthy and virus free and the virus was not found in her system any longer to the perplexation of doctors. I know this might sound crazy and now doubt the anti-christs will jump on me for reaching out to you but I'll take the chance anyway because you deserve the opportunity. I'm based in London but feel free to message me if you want and we can talk more. God bless you.

Rosemary essential oil is more suitable for hair growth. I also have a video on the health benefits of peppermint on my channel, and interestingly the next video in line is the health benefits of Rosemary. Feel free to check it out!

When diluting the oil in water to be diffused: how many drops of oil would you recommend for every 100 ml of water?

I do 10 in my 4 liter humidifier. Also put hydrogen peroxide in it.

Used it diluted as drops for my itching eyes. Had nothing else and have been maced so I figured it was better than rubbing. Kind of worked.
