Peppermint essential oil

Peppermint essential oil

Thanks to its analgesic, digestive, and refreshing properties, it alleviates headaches, nausea, digestive disorders, and muscle pain, while providing a tonic and invigorating effect on the body. On a psycho-emotional level, the two molecules present are antagonistic (positive and negative), allowing one to focus on what is essential; it stimulates the mind, dispels fatigue, and promotes concentration (wise for long car journeys). It gives a good boost!
