When experiencing an elevated body temperature, apply one drop topically on both big toes and down the spine to promote a cooling sensation and overall lower body temperature.

When experiencing head tensions, put a drop on your fingertips, rub them together, then massage into temples and back of neck to soothe tension.

During times of year when seasonal threats are high, take equal parts PEPPERMINT, LEMON, and LAVENDER internally, or apply topically.

After a session of exercise, apply PEPPERMINT topically to support healthy joints and soothe muscle fatigue.

When experiencing food cravings, inhale or apply topically under the nose, before or between meals to promote feelings of satiety.

Some women have been able to support a decrease in lactation production when taking PEPPERMINT internally or applying topically.
