Mix 3 drops of peppermint oil with 1 teaspoon (5ml) of carrier oil, and massage into the abdomen in a clockwise direction.

Muscular aches and pains
Peppermint oil helps to relieve pain, inflammation, and muscular spasms. Mix 5 drops of peppermint oil with 1 tablespoon (15 ml) carrier oil. Massage into the affected area.

Rodents

Ticks
Place 1 drop of peppermint oil on a cotton bud and rub it around the area the tick has burrowed into your skin. This will cause til tick to poke its head out so you can remove it safely.

Head lice
Head lice in school? Use 10 drops of Peppermint essential oil in the shampoo and massage well, then rinse. Repeat again in the day and every day, twice daily as needed. You can also put 4 drops of peppermint in the conditioner, and massage it on and leave it for 5 minutes before rinsing. Diffuse peppermint essential oil in your home, and in your child's bedroom during the day if they are there. Do not diffuse during the evening/night because it is a stimulant.

In my journey to learn about Essential Oils and Aromatherapy over the years, I deep dive into books and courses. I love to educate myself and below you can see some of the books I have used as resources when writing my content. I have tried a lot of different recipes and have been inspired to make some of my own as well. Some of the recipes are from the books. There are so many brilliant authors, and I feel honored to share such great wisdom and knowledge so that we all can live more in harmony with Mother Nature. So share and include this knowledge in your care for yourself and your family and friends. Love Susann
