Note: Not all essential oil brands are the same, and you get what you pay for. If you expect to achieve results similar to those described in this testimonial, then ensure that you are using oils from pesticide-free plants. Also, the brand should use 100% pure, high-quality essential oils that do not contain any synthetic additives. Do your own research or ask a trusted friend to find a brand that is reputable. Buyer beware.
Peppermint oil has been a lifesaver for me. My husband and I have spent many hours traveling. When we begin to get sleepy we put a drop or two of Peppermint oil under our noses, take a deep breath and in a few minutes are totally alert again.
We also use a drop of Peppermint oil under our noses before we go to sleep at night to clear our sinuses. I don't understand how this oil works to keep us alert when needed, but does not keep us awake at night when used to clear our sinuses.
Peppermint oil is definitely one of my favorites and one I would not be without!
