Concentration is imperative to staying present and focusing on the task at hand but we all get a little foggy sometimes. We lose sleep and our mind wanders. It happens. Thankfully, Peppermint oil is a brilliant solution to drifting thoughts and sore bodies.
Peppermint’s cool and clearing aroma is refreshing with minty layers of sweetness. For aromatherapy, diffuse Peppermint near your desk or gently inhale it to eliminate feelings of grief, worry or heaviness.
A cross between a number of wild mints, Peppermint was first widely discovered in the 17th century. The peppermint plant grows up to 3 feet and has purplish stems and pale-violet flowers. The entire plant is put through a steam distillation process to extract the mint oil which pairs well with other essential oils, such as Frankincense oil, Tea Tree oil and Lavender essential oil.
