I experienced mild dizziness with a head cold.
I inhaled Peppermint oil in the morning at home and then at work and had slight relief, but then dizziness returned.
I again inhaled the Peppermint, and also applied it neat to the back of my neck and behind ears.
Then I went to the ladies' room and applied the Peppermint to vita flex locations on feet.
Within minutes the dizziness disappeared! Quick relief!

The effects of Cineole in the treatment of acute bronchitis were clearly measurable and could be proven after a treatment period of merely 4 days. This study corroborates the fact that Cineole actively and significantly reduces cough frequency after four days." | Link |
