Hot Summer Day Pick Me Up - Peppermint Oil!

OK - it's Mid-Summer and in most places it is pretty darn HOT. I don't know about you, but when it's hot and muggy I get tired and lazy! So in order to beat the heat and get a quick, cool pick me up, I reach for the Peppermint Oil. Peppermint essential oil is very refreshing, energizing and rejuvenating and a fantastic way to pick yourself up with a burst of energy.

Peppermint Oil is perfect for hot summer days because it is cooling to the touch, so why not add it to your arsenal? If you are hot and irritable, try adding a drop of peppermint oil to your fingertips and gently dab right behind the ears. You'll be amazed at how cool and invigorated your feel just seconds after you try this.

Peppermint oil can be just what you need at the officee when temperatures rise. It can alleviate headaches and increases concentration and memory, leaving you feeling refreshed and ready to go wherever the day takes you.

For everyday use as headache relief, a concentration aid, or a pick-me-up, take 1 ounce of carrier oil and add 30 drops of peppermint essential oil. Mix this blend and keep it in your purse or desk drawer so that you have it ready to go any time you need it!
