Peppermint

 Peppermint: 

Peppermint essential oil is wonderful for your digestive system. Having some indigestion? Put a drop of oil in a glass of water to drink or in a capsule. Inhale the aroma of peppermint to help with feelings of nausea. For bloating or gas, you can rub a couple drops of peppermint essential oil on your abdomen. Starting above your belly button, massage gently in a clockwise motion (with 12 o'clock being at the spot above your belly button).

By the way, I don't recommend getting it in your eye. LOL I've accidentally done this! And while I was driving! I pulled over right away and luckily my husband was in the passenger seat and able to kind of take over. In the midst of my freaking out I tried to explain to him what had just happened and it came out as, "My eye! It's so squinty, and minty!" We've laughed forever about this, and often refer to it as the time I got the 'Ole Minty Eye. 

Peppermint essential oil can really perk up your mood! It contains menthol, which can bring circulation to your head and stimulate clarity and motivation.

Put one or two drops in the palm of your hand, rub your hands together, and then breathe deeply of the refreshing aroma. This is especially helpful to do in the morning if you're still feeling sleepy, or whenever you need a pick up.

Peppermint essential oil is the Oil of a Buoyant Heart.

Peppermint can bring joy to our hearts and uplift us out of times of discouragement and fear. It is good to use for a short reprieve, but not as a crutch. Let the power of peppermint help you through rough waters, but do not become dependent on it.

The positive energies of Peppermint: optimistic, joyful, relieved, strength to face emotional fear.

Energetically, peppermint pairs well with: Tangerine, Lime, Red Mandarin

Peppermint would be a good oil to use for the solar plexus chakra, as it is such a helpful oil for the digestive system, and it is generally uplifting to the spirit.
