peppermint-for-your-health

Peppermint is one of my favorite flavors in so many things. Teas, sugar scrubs, mochas and more! It not only has a delicious taste, but a wonderful scent.

Today, I want to talk about peppermint for your health and share with you a really fun giveaway!

I’ve had RA for about 20 years now and have tried almost everything on the market for helping with pain and inflammation. I have also tried all types of medicinal items and therapy over the years. Many of my readers also struggle with auto-immune diseases, so love sharing products with you that have helped me tremendously.

Like this great list of vitamins and supplements that keep my symptoms at bay.

Peppermint is another great medicinal item for many things, but especially pain and inflammation. Many over the counter joint or arthritis rubs contain peppermint too. It has a wonderful soothing quality for achy joints and swelling. It also does wonders for digestion when you drink it as a tea or smoothies!

If you are new to using essential oils as a form of therapy, you may be surprised how many benefits contained in one small little bottle! Peppermint essential oils have all the same health benefits as using peppermint leaves, but it is highly concentrated.

The science behind essential oils is pretty awesome! There are many ways to extract just the oils from an herb or plant, but it does take some special equipment, which you won’t have at home. I have done different home methods of extracting flavors like homemade vanilla extracts, chocolate extracts, and more recently, I have been developing an oil extraction method for some cleaning solutions. It isn’t as concentrated as buying them, but it is pretty neat to do.

Peppermint essential oil has many powerful benefits in a concentrated dose. One of the chemistry cachet sponsors, Sally from Hope Health Healing, shares some great information about oils that she uses for her own journey with RA. Sally is an RA Warrior passionate about teaching others natural wellness options.

She shares her knowledge of diet, exercise, and essential oils with hundreds and hundreds of people every year through live and online classes as well as through the Hope Health Healing blog. A mom of three beautiful ladies and Oma to 2 crazy boys, life is never dull, but an amazing journey, and she’s enjoying every minute of it!

You can read some more things about peppermint oil benefits on her blog. She also has a great post about using peppermint for hurting hands!
