It helps boost your energy levels on long road trips, in school or any other time you need to “burn the midnight oil.” To boost your energy levels and improve concentration with peppermint oil, take one to two drops internally with a glass of water, or apply two to three drops topically to your temples and back of neck.

Peppermint oil for IBS reduces spasms in the colon, relaxes the muscles of your intestines, and can help reduce bloating and gassiness. To help relieve IBS symptoms, try taking one to two drops of peppermint oil internally with a glass of water or adding it to a capsule before meals. You can also apply two to three drops topically to your abdomen.
7.Freshens Breath
Supports Oral Health Tried and true for well over 1,000 years, the peppermint plant has been used to naturally freshen breath. This is probably due to the way peppermint oil kills bacteria and fungus that can lead to cavities or infection. To boost your oral health and freshen your breath, try making my homemade baking soda toothpaste or homemade mouthwash. You can also add a drop of peppermint oil right to your store-bought toothpaste product or add a drop under your tongue before drinking liquids.
8.Promotes Hair Growth and Reduces Dandruff
Peppermint is used in many high-quality hair care products because it can naturally thicken and nourish damaged strands. It can be used as a natural treatment for thinning hair, and it helps stimulate the scalp and energize your mind. Plus, menthol has proven to be a powerful antiseptic agent, so it may help remove germs that build up on your scalp and strands. It’s even used in anti-dandruff shampoos.
9.antipruritic
Relieves Itchiness Living with itchiness can be a pain. To help relieve itching with peppermint, simply apply two to three drops topically to the area of concern, or add five to 10 drops to a warm water bath. If you have sensitive skin, combine it with equal parts carrier oil before topical application. You can also mix it into a lotion or cream in place of the carrier oil, or combine peppermint with lavender oil for itch relief, as lavender has soothing properties.
10.Insect repellent
Repels Bugs Naturally Unlike us humans, a number of little critters hate the smell of peppermint, including ants, spiders, cockroaches, mosquitos, mice and possibly even lice. This makes peppermint oil for spiders, ants, mice and other pests an effective and natural repelling agent. It may also be effective for ticks.
11.Improves Colic Symptoms
There is research that suggests peppermint oil can be useful as a natural colic remedy. According to a crossover study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, using peppermint oil is equally effective as the drug Simethicone for treating infantile colic, without the side effects associated with prescribed medications. For the study, infants were given one drop of Mentha piperita per kilogram of body weight once a day for a seven-day period. Before using it on your infant, be sure to discuss this treatment plan with your child’s pediatrician.
12..Boosts Skin Health
Peppermint oil has calming, softening, toning and anti-inflammatory effects on the skin when it’s used topically. It has antiseptic and antimicrobial properties. To improve the health of your skin and use as a home remedy for acne, mix two to three drops with equal parts lavender essential oil, and apply the combination topically to the area of concern.
13.Sunburn Protection and Relief
Peppermint oil can hydrate areas affected by sunburn and relieve the pain. It can also be used to help prevent sunburn. To boost healing after sun exposure and help protect yourself from sunburn, mix two to three drops of peppermint oil with a half-teaspoon of coconut oil, and apply it directly to area of concern. You can also make my natural homemade sunburn spray to relieve pain and support healthy skin renewal.
