I have been reading on the benefits of peppermint oil and realize that it is a nice thing to have around the house. I received the large 4 oz. bottle of 100 % pure Peppermint Oil for review. It seems there are many uses for peppermint oil and I wanted to try them out. It seems that peppermint oil can be used around your house to repel bugs and rodents. I know the spiders have come in for the winter around my house so I placed a few drops of peppermint oil in the corners, under cabinets, and in the closets. My daughter and I have been on the lookout for spiders because we were really hoping this would work. Guess what, there has definitely been a decrease in spiders at this household! Very exciting for me as I am NOT a spider person. Yuk!
There are other benefits to using peppermint oil, such as to relieve anxiety or stress, help with migraines or headaches, and to help treat indigestion nausea, diarrhea, and heartburn. **DO NOT EVER TAKE A NON-PROFESSIONALS ADVICE FOR MEDICAL CONDITIONS. ALWAYS CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE USING ANY PRODUCT TO TREAT EXISTING CONDITIONS** Whew, now that I’ve yelled that, I will say I don’t know if the claims are true yet. I have used a few drops on the back of my neck to reduce the tension in those muscles and it worked for me. I also put a few drops of oil on back when I had a backache. It did seem to relieve the pain but that may have been due to the aromatherapy effect. I love the smell of peppermint oil, especially at Christmas time. The fact that I can treat my house for nasty, icky spiders while making my house smell like Christmas is a bonus for me!
Now that I’ve told you some of the uses of peppermint oil, complete with yelled warning, I will give you some information on the actual product. Pure Body Naturals created Peppermint Oil that is 100 % pure and natural and steam distilled. They use no dilution or filtering, no additives, or fillers. It is therapeutic grade and suitable for Vegetarians and Vegans. It is non-toxic for use around the home and garden. The bottle comes with a dropper to make using the oil easier. Pure Body Naturals offers a 100 % Lifetime Money Back Promise that if you are not satisfied in any way, you can just send them an email and they will refund your purchase in full. You wouldn’t even have to return the bottle! I like companies that are that secure in their products.
