I have been using my Premium Starter Kit for months now and a few of the oils instantly became my favorites. Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil is definitely a great everyday oil. I use Peppermint Essential Oil everyday to support my digestion and give me a boost of energy.
Everyday Essential Oils
I started with the Young Living premium starter kit because it was the best value and it would give me a chance to experience some of the most common essential oils. Along with the diffuser, the premium starter kit includes the basic ten everyday essential oils: Thieves, Joy, Valor, Purification, Lemon, PanAway, Frankincense, Peppermint, Peace & Calming and Lavender.
I have been using my Essential Oils Pocket Reference to learn all of the different ways to use the Everyday Essential Oils.
Ways to Use Peppermint Essential Oil
- Tummy Discomfort: I mix 1-2 drops with a small chunk of coconut oil and apply to my stomach to help support healthy digestion.
- Tension: I rub a drop of Peppermint on my temples and on the back of my neck to get rid of tension.
- Alertness & Concentration: I place a drop in the palm of my hand and rub my hands together. I then cup my hands over my nose and mouth and inhale to be more alert. I also use Peppermint in my diffuser necklace to get a boost of energy in the morning.

- Motion Sickness: I mix a 2-4 drops of Peppermint oil with a chunk of coconut oil and apply to my stomach to relieve motion sickness.

Because I love Peppermint Essential Oil so much I decided to giveaway a 5 mL bottle. The good news about essential oils is that a little goes a long way (1-2 drops per application) so the bottles can last quite a while. Due to the cost for me to ship the prize, the Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil giveaway will be limited to U.S. residents only. Young Living does ship to certain countries outside of the United States so if you would like to try using essential oils consider becoming a distributor/wholesale member. Giveaway ends July 17, 2014 at 12:00 AM ET.
