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:

• Peppermint is one of the key essential oils used in the Raindrop massage technique and is also compliant of the oil blends used in this technique.
• Raindrop Roll-on:
  • 10 drops each: Oregano, Basil, Marjoram, Cypress, Thyme, Wintergreen, Peppermint, Aroma Siez
  • 1-2 pumps Ortho Ease (or V-6)
  • Fill the rest with a carrier oil, like Young LIving's V-6 Vegetable Oil Complex.
  • Apply over the lymph nodes, along the spine, on the bottom of the feed as needed. Use frequently and consistently!
• Raindrop Detox Bath
  • 6 cups Epsom Salts
  • 10 drops each: Oregano, Thyme, Basil, Wintergreen, Marjoram, Cypress, Peppermint, White Angelica, Aroma Siez
  • Combine Epsom salts and essential oils in a glass jar and mix well. When you are ready for a soak, add 1-2 cups of the mixture to a warm bath, and relax for at leas 30 minutes.

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!

• Seasons Change: 3 drops Peppermint + 3 drops Lemon + 3 drops Lavender + 3 drops Tea Tree
• Sugar Cookie: 4 rops Peppermint + 5 drops Stress Away

April's Ditch & Switch

PAIN CREAMS

As the gatekeepers of our home we have such a great opportunity to bring in healthy products for ourselves and families! 

Join us as we detox our homes and switch out conventional products for cleaner, greener and better options! 

For April, let’s make a simple swap that can make a big difference - Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! Say goodbye to all the stinky muscle rubs and grab a tube of Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream!

Here's a quick low-down on the real “F word” - fragrance. Fragrance is a very loosely defined term when it comes to use in personal care and household products. Fragrance and synthetic perfumes are problematic because companies aren’t required to disclose the exact ingredients in the fragrances. Even ‘natural fragrance’ is problematic. Just because something is natural, doesn’t mean we want to rub it on our skin (ie: formaldehyde - a naturally occurring compound that we don’t want on our skin!). So the 'fragrance' listed in those muscle rubs could be just about anything... and we don't want to rub that all over our skin, especially when we need some relief!

Enter Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream! This is one of our absolute favorite products, especially when pair with a little Deep Relief or the CBD Muscle Rub Balm! Pulled or overtired muscles, tension headaches, arthritis, back aches, any ache or pain really! Just a dab of the pain cream, rub in well and roll on your Deep Relief a few minutes later and you're good to go!

The Cool Azul Pain Relief Cream blends Wintergreen oil and Peppermint oil with other high quality ingredients that are amazing for your whole body. The pain-relieving benefits come about in two ways: methyl salicylate found in Wintergreen helps alleviate pain deep in the muscles and joints, a natural method found in Peppermint provides a lovely cooling effect. This formula doesn't just make your skin tingle like other OTC pain creams - it actually gets to the muscles to help relieve the pain and support healing. It is also considered an over the counter product, making Young Living the only essential oil company to have OTC items!

Join us this month as we make this simple swap that will impact  your health and wellness routine!

• Decyl glucoside - Comparable to other Alkyl Polyglucoside Surfactants, decyl glucoside is obtained from 100% renewable vegetable origin. The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel assessed the safety of 10 alkyl glucosides including decal glucoside as used in cosmetics and concluded these ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated, and are non-irritating. Since glucoside hydrolyses in human skin are likely to break down tase ingredients to release their respective fatty acids and glucose, the Panel also reviewed CIR reports on the safety of fatty alcohols and were able to extrapolate data from those previous reports to support safety. Decyl glucoside is a gentle cleanser, delicate enough even for the delicate skin on fruits, such as berries and cherry tomatoes, which is why it used in the Thieves Fruit & Veggie Spray and Thieves Fruit & Veggie Soak too.
• Sodium Lauroyl lactylate - A salt derived from the Laurie acid ester of lactyl lactate (or milk and coconut oil) and is traditionally used as a food emulsifier, although it is seen in cosmetics and personal care products because of its ability, as a lactylate, to penetrate skin easily, providing "residual moisturizaion", extended fragrance release, and enhanced delivery of actives. Lauric acid is known for its moisturizing abilities, and is also recognized as a acne-fighter, thanks to its antimicrobial properties. Sodium Lauroyl lactylate is used as in ingredient in shapes, face and body washes, and other foaming cleansers.
• Lauroyl glucoside and caprylyl glucoside - a safer alternative to regular harsh surfactants, which are typically used in cleansers to make the formula foam up. Also a "surfactant (cleanser)," this one is formed in the lab by blending a mixtures of alcohols with some simple sugars. The raw materials come from vegetables or coconut, and the resulting ingredient has a "zero" hazard rating on the Skin Deep Database.
• Sodium oleate - I honestly had a difficult time finding information on this one that was not extremely scientific and technical and mixed with other ingredients. EWG rates it very low and lists 18 studies showing it to be of low concern on several fronts like estrogenic and mutagenic effects.
• Sodium sesquicarbonate - An A rating on EWG, this ingredient is a double salt of sodium bicarbonate and sodium carbonate, and has a needle-like crystal structure. However, the term is also applied to an equimolar mixture of those two salts, with whatever water of hydration the sodium carbonate includes, supplied as a powder.
