Check out what Lu Anne Gafford has to say about this amazing oil.

“Peppermint was one of the first oils I was able to convince my husband to try when I first got into doTERRA. He would complain of tension in his neck and head after a long day of work. We try to do things more naturally, so I encouraged him to try applying a roller of peppermint with some fractionated coconut oil to his neck and temples. He was hooked. He now carries his own bottle with him in his truck to use if needed throughout the day. He’s even shared it with others.

I also like to use peppermint with Digestzen in a roller ball when my tummy acts up. I also will add to water with along with Digestzen when I have indigestion or an upset stomach.

My favorite is to diffuse peppermint in my office at work along with wild orange. My coworkers all like the smell and always come by my desk to thank me for making it smell good at work.”
