I have resorted to smelling the empty bottle while anxiously awaiting my YoungLiving order to arrive; and as I can think of nothing better to so, I decided to write about Peppermint Oil.
With so many applications for this one oil, I recommend it as the one to try first if you have never experienced the benefits of essential oils before. It is very strong so be careful not to get it in your eye! You also only need 2 or 3 drops at a time, so try not to over-do it!
Purchase Retail:
Therapeutic grade Peppermint Oil is a must have oil! It takes a pound of peppermint to make a 15ml bottle of YL oil, and its retail price is $28.29. It is one of the more affordable oils and is steam distilled from leaves, stems, and flower buds in North America. There are cheaper versions on the market but those contain solvents, additives, and fillers and as the FDA only requires a company to use 5% essential oil in a bottle to mark it as 100% essential oil, I only recommend that you buy from Young Living as they have a seed to seal guarantee that what you are purchasing is 100% real therapeutic grade essential oil - no solvents, no additives, just pure goodness!
Grow your own plants:
If you cannot afford to buy a bottle, I would recommend growing peppermint yourself and making tinctures and teas out of the plant material. You will want to grow the plant organically without the use of any chemicals to ensure it is safe for consumption. You can make fresh tea from the leaves during the summer, and dry the leaves for use during the winter months. Not only is the tea good for you. it is also delicious!
Buy a Starter Kit!
Young Living sells starter kits that include samples of peppermint oil and a 5ml bottle, as well as information on how it can be used. If you want to get serious about switching over your medicine cabinet, cleaning products, and beauty products over to essential oils I would highly recommend that you purchase a Premium Starter Kit with the Bamboo Diffuser for $160 and become a YL member. This kit is awesome, and the membership gets you 24% off on all essential oils!
Of course sharing all of this information with you, has still not resulted in a bottle magically appearing in front of me. So I will resort to checking the tracking number on my shipment and waiting somewhat impatiently.
