Description
Peppermint is steam distilled from the entire herb.
Used traditionally for various stomach and gastro-intestinal tract ailments such as travel sickness, diarrhea, and heartburn. The most popular use of this essential oil is as a remedy for digestive upsets and is very beneficial to the stomach, liver and intestines (intestinal antiseptic), making it good to use when dealing with colic, diarrhea, indigestion, vomiting and stomach pains due to its antispasmodic action on the smooth muscles of the stomach and gut. Peppermint tea may be consumed or a massage oil into which a few drops of peppermint essential oil have been added may be gently massaged onto the stomach in a clockwise direction.
Peppermint can also be used for its cooling effect in feverish conditions, since it induces sweating which will help to reduce a fever in a natural way. Peppermint cools by constricting capillaries so use in low dilutions. Another use of this oil is to reduces fatigue and to increases mental alertness. Inhaled directly from the bottle, it will clear the head leaving you feeling fresh and bright.
When fighting colds or the flu, peppermint is very effective when mixed with Lavender, Eucalyptus or Tea tree. This will help to clear sinuses (expectorant), calm any stomach upsets or head aches and help the body's immune system fight off infection more effectively. To help with cleaning and decongesting acneic skin, peppermint can be used in a facial steam. Its mildly antiseptic capabilities help to control the proliferation of bacteria on the surface of the skin. As a double benefit, this can also help to stimulate the brain (like Rosemary & Basil) and clear the head (great before an exam or other mentally taxing event). Of course, most critters (bugs, mice, spiders, ants) really hate the strong smell emitted by this plant; so to discourage them from invading your space, keep Peppermint around (sprinkle a few drops on areas they frequent and watch them vacate in a hurry).

Personal experiences with this oil:
Peppermint is an oil I have used in great quantities. A bottle at the bedside is invaluable for those days you just aren't sure you can get out of bed. A couple of inhalations of this sweet mint oil are a safe but powerful stimulation, and in some cases proves to be better than Lavender oil in fighting depression. Great in vaporizers, it can be mixed with a carrier oil to form a stimulating massage oil. I love putting a couple of drops of this oil into a pitcher of tea and mixing well to give a great minty flavor to the whole pitcher.

Do not take any oils internally without consultation from a qualified aromatherapy or herbal practitioner. Do not apply undiluted essential oils onto the skin (exceptions include Tea Tree and Lavender oils). If you are pregnant, epileptic, have liver damage, cancer, or have any other medical problem, use oils only under the proper guidance of a qualified practitioner. Use extreme caution when using oils with children and give children only the gentlest oils at extremely low doses. It is safest to consult a qualified aromatherapy or herbal practitioner before using oils with children. A skin patch test should be conducted prior to using an oil that you've never used before.

** Notice **
<><><><><><>
This item,
along with all the health & beauty products,
are being discontinued from my store
in order for me to focus on my main business,
Musical Instrument Supplies.
When the listed quantities are gone,
the eBay listing will terminate, and
I don't expect to have any more in stock.
However I will special-order it for you if you want
quantities of a dozen or more.

My Policies:
Payment:
Buyer is expected to go through
the eBay PAY NOW process
within 3 days of purchase.
<><><><><>
Payment is due within 10 days of purchase.
<><><><><>
Please complete all your purchases,
then click REQUEST TOTAL
from your WON column in My Ebay.
I will send you an invoice with the correct
s&h for your combined order.
EBay shipping setup does not reflect the real world.
There is no way to set up combined shipping
that works right. I have to "see what fits."
If you pay for several items without waiting for an invoice
you will get the fastest shipping and will probably get a refund
for combined shipping.
This is NOT true if the ship-to address
is not in the US or possessions.
You should work out arrangements in advance
for shipping out of the US or possessions.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
As a veteran, I am happy
to ship to APO and FPO addresses
at the same cost as US addresses.
The same shipping cost applies to all US Possessions
(Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Is., etc.)
as for US addresses.
Shipping:
The default shipping method for most items
is USPS 1st Class Mail.
Most items can also be shipped by Priority Mail or Express Mail.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
I combine shipping
on items that can be shipped together.
You will receive at least $1 off
the individual s&h cost of each item after the 1st.
This is done automatically in eBay.
For many items, the discount is more,
and this will be reflected in a manual invoice
I will send when you request it.
If you buy several items and pay immediately,
you will likely overpay on s&h.
In this case, I will send you a PayPal refund.
(Please understand if the refund takes 2 or more weeks.
I prioritize fast shipping, and often get backed up on refunds.)
If your purchase is over $10,
I may deduct insurance cost before calculating your refund.
***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** ***** *****
Please note that SHIPPING and HANDLING charges
include the cost of labor and materials
to create your package ("handling").
It is expensive and labor-intensive to order,
stock, inventory, and store
large boxes of envelopes,
bubble wrap, foam wrap, plastic wrap,
tape, packing peanuts, etc.
It is also labor intensive
to package items as carefully as we do.
Please understand we have to get $2 or more
($4 or more on overseas) for even a small package
just to cover these "handling" costs.

I spend many hours a day answering emails.
I try to answer them as promptly as possible.
Please observe the following:
-
Read listing carefully before asking questions.
-
Please do not mark "hide my email address" in eBay, as this often means my answer will not reach you.
-
Double-check: you MUST have the correct email address listed in eBay.
-
Make sure you don't have me blocked or spammed. Set my email address in your email list: TampaDave ? verizon.net
(Fix the address by replacing ? with @)
-
Don't expect me to answer by eBay messages. It is more time-consuming, I cannot send you links or pictures, other limitations, problems, etc., all add up to TOO MUCH TROUBLE. I can respond by email to 3-5 messages for every one I can do by logging into eBay.
-
After a few days, resend an email if you did not get a response. Sometimes emails are lost in cyberspace,
occasionally they get lost here.
You may remember what our thread is about, but I respond to hundreds of emails a week, and do not necessarily remember. Please include the past portions in replies to refresh my memory.
<><><><><><>
Insurance is included in S&H
in all items $30 and over,
as well as items with poor shipping histories.
This includes many items that ship in tubes.
