Peppermint Essential Oil | doTERRA Behind the Bottle – Watch The Video Here

I hope the day is treating you well!

I can’t tell you how often someone asks for advice for alleviating head tension.  In case this is an issue for you, I want to share with you what I usually say:

• Step 1: Stay hydrated, eat well, get enough sleep and try not to let stress rule your life.
• Step 2: Reach for the dōTERRA® Peppermint or Past Tense oil!

Peppermint oil has a cooling, pain relieving essence that soothes most head tensions. Rub a drop straight onto your temples or dilute with a carrier oil (such as coconut oil for sensitive skin) on your forehead, shoulders and nape of your neck.  Just steer clear of peppermint around your eyes!!

Alternatively, a simple drop of frankincense oil under your tongue will help ease your head tension. For persistent head tension, you may want to take a drop every few minutes for up to 15 minutes until you feel relief. Grapefruit oil can be an amazing solution for head tension caused by chemicals such as pesticides, perfumes, candles or even cleaning products. We’ll teach you how to detox your home soon, but for now, this is a great start.

As the tension subsides, you’ll also find extra relief as you enjoy dōTERRA® Deep Blue® across your forehead. (Just wash your hands after as it doesn’t feel very good in your eyes.)
