Peppermint Oil Spotlight - April 2021 | Jennifer Meckel

PEPPERMINT

April's Oil of the Month


Energy, vitality, and fitness - things we all want, right? We want healthy, strong bodies, minds and spirits, which is why we are committed to using our favorite Young Living oils and products consistently and frequently! And peppermint essential oil is definitely one of our most used for this purpose.

Each month we focus on using an oil every day to help us in accomplishing our goals. Join us in choosing a method of application and simply getting this oil on and around you every day in April! My goal is to use up an entire bottle for my personal use.

Peppermint AT A GLANCE:

  • Cools fatigued muscles after physical activity
  • Produces a focused environment when diffused
  • Provides a refreshing experience when mixed with your favorite shampoo or when applied to skin after a warm day in the sun
  • Creates an invigorating and refreshing experience when inhaled

Key Constituents

  • Menthol
  • Menthone
  • Menthofuran
  • 1,8-Cineole (Eucalyptol)
  • Isomenthone
  • Neomenthol
  • Menthyl acetate

PEPPERMINT & EMOTIONS 

Peppermint also has a strong emotional benefits. The bright, crisp aroma is wonderful to inhale to soothe anxious feelings, uplift the spirits and calm racing thoughts and restlessness.  When we inhale oils, the area of our brain dealing with memory and mood is affected, so diffusing or applying peppermint oil can help us tremendously. It's wonderful paired with citrus oils for a vibrant, uplifting aroma!

PEPPERMINT & RAINDROP:

DAILY HABITS WITH PEPPERMINT:

  • Add a drop or two to the back of the neck to support alertness and focus! Also diffuse during school, homework or work time.
  • Add peppermint to an Epsom salt bath and/or use for a post-workout massage to ease and support tired muscles.
  • Add a few drops to dryer balls for the fresh smelling laundry.
  • Apply with coconut oil to the chest and back to support the airways. This is wonderful before lying down at bedtime. You can also add Lemon, Lavender, RC, and Raven.
  • Add a drop directly to the belly button to lower body temperature when needed.
  • Make a Tension Roll-On. Give tired, tense, or sore muscles some love! One great thing about Peppermint is that it actually helps support our muscles and tendons through the strain versus simply making the skin tingle like convention pain creams. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops PanAway
    • 10 drops Copaiba
    • 5 drops Oregano or Marjoram
    • Top off with a carrier oil. Apply frequently and consistently
    • Avoid getting too close to the eyes. If you get it in your eyes, rub with coconut oil or other carrier oil.
  • Make a Digest Roll-On. Throughout history, peppermint has been used to calm and soothe digestive needs, so adding it to your digestive blends makes sense! There's a reason all the items on the GI isle at the drugstore are peppermint-flavored. In a 10 mL roller bottle add:
    • 10 drops Peppermint
    • 10 drops Lemon
    • 10 drops DiGize
    • Top off with carrier oil. Apply over the abdomen as needed!

DIFFUSE: 

Diffusing is a wonderful health habit! We have our diffuser going almost 24/7 and love to choose blends that are supportive of individual needs or systems. Try some of these great combinations and enjoy the refreshing scent of peppermint this month!

Hello! I'm Jennifer Meckel

 

I am very passionate about helping you achieve the best YOU that you can be!


A little about myself. I live in the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. I am married to a wonderful and supportive man named Sean since 2003 - all wonderful years. We have two smart and sassy daughters, Emmy is 10 and in 4th grade in the Mandarin Immersion program and Lilly is 6 and in kindergarten. I like to paper craft and make my own cards, I like to sew (though don’t have much time for that lately) and I just returned to belly dancing now that Lilly is getting bigger.


I’ve been using essential oils and infused products for since October 2015 and absolutely love this lifestyle and how it makes me and my family feel. I started my oily journey after sitting next to another mom at a play date.  We started talking about my infertility issues, and she suggested I try Young Living’s essential oils to support my hormones.  After a year of intentionally exercising, eating better, and using oils to support my hormones and emotions, I became pregnant with Lilly, right before my first time attending the International YL Convention in Salt Lake City in 2016. There is so much more to tell about this story, and I’m open and willing to share with you, if you are interested.


So, tell me more about yourself!  Tell me about the season of life you are in now. Tell me about your family. 


In health, wellness, and abundance!
