Allergies, Sneezing and Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint Essential Oil- Sneezing, Itchy eyes, Allergies....Good-bye!

By Health Coach Kim Diaz

Something is blooming out there that got me this morning. Itching eyes when I came back in from walking the dog. I grabbed my doTERRA peppermint essential oil and rubbed a couple of drops on my neck and throat. Itchy eyes gone- check. When my daughter, Oceana woke up, she started one of her sneezing fits. I grabbed the peppermint, mixed it with lemon and lavender and rubbed on her neck and throat. No more sneezing. We are ready to face the day- allergy free!

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The peppermint plant is actually a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first discovered by Carl Linneaus in 1753. A high menthol content—like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint essential oil—distinguishes the best quality Peppermint from other products. Frequently used in toothpaste and chewing gum for oral health, Peppermint also helps to alleviate stomach upset and promotes healthy respiratory function. Peppermint continues to be one of the best-selling favorites among doTERRA essential oils.
