Peppermint Essential Oil (NorthWest)
Details
Peppermint Essential Oil is both stimulant and relaxant. This peppermint (northwest) relieves stress better than the Midwest Peppermint Essential Oil. Boosts the immune system and relieves exhaustion. Northwest Peppermint Oil relieves pain especially for spasmodic conditions. Try in a massage blend to loosen and relax muscles. This is a special peppermint in that it tends to have higher esters than most peppermints. Esters give a calm, soothing note to any oil. We wonder if this oil would be very effective with children who are hyperactive and have problems focusing on one thing, ADD. It has the chemical constituents to make it calming and at the same time focused. We would love to see more mothers try this with their children.
