I love Peppermint. When my son was younger he would get a lot of stomach aches. I would rub some on his tummy. By the time I rubbed it on clockwise three times, he would have a smile on his face. Five to ten minutes later I would ask how he was and he was fine.
Also if he started to cough, I would make instant hot chocolate and put a less then a drop of Peppermint in to help with his cough. I would also put it on his chest and feet to help with breathing.
I use Peppermint in my water to help me drink more water everyday and to give me energy when I start to feel tired in the afternoon.

| 3. | Associated topics: colds — "Taken together, we found an essential oil blend [Orange, Clove, Cinnamon Bark, Eucalyptus, and Rosemary] notably attenuates influenza virus PR8 infection in vitro via inhibition of viral protein synthesis at the post-transcription level. The lack of toxicity and potent specific inhibition ability make the essential oil a possible antiviral drug for influenza virus proliferation control and treatment." | Link |

In vivo analysis and histological assay showed that the two essential oils displayed significant dose-dependent edema [swelling] inhibition effect over time. They displayed strong analgesic [pain-relieving] and antipyretic [fever-reducing] properties similar to that induced by 50 mg/kg of acetylsalicylate of lysine.... This work demonstrates the anti-inflammatory property of Cymbopogon citratus [Lemongrass] and Eucalyptus citriodora [Lemon Eucalyptus], suggesting their potential role as adjuvant therapeutic alternatives in dealing with inflammatory-related diseases." | Link |
