Mark's Daily Apple Tuesday, November 15, 2022 11:00 AM Peppermint Essential Oil: Uses and Benefits       Ah, peppermint. It's a classic scent and flavor that just about everyone enjoys. What are your positive associations with peppermint? Candies snuck to you by your grandmother, minty fresh breath, peppermint hot chocolate or lattes on a cold winter morning? And it's not just for culinary treats and oral care. Oil distilled from the peppermint plant—scientific name Mentha x piperita—is broadly useful for medicinal and aromatic purposes. Peppermint oil contains beneficial compounds, notably high levels of menthol, which give it antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. I'm not really an essential oils guy, but lavender oil and peppermint oil are two we usually have on hand because they are so multifunctional. Here are some research-backed benefits of peppermint.  6 Reasons to Use Peppermint Oil Peppermint Oil Helps with IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) I know from personal experience how IBS symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, constipation, and cramping affect day-to-day quality of life. For me, removing grains and adopting a Primal lifestyle have made all the difference, but if you're still dealing with IBS symptoms, peppermint oil might help.  Two recent meta-analyses concluded that enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules are significantly better than placebo at relieving pain and global IBS symptoms. It's also effective for kids. Possibly it works by decreasing muscle spasms, killing pathogens, relieving pain directly, and/or reducing inflammation. Peppermint Oil for Headaches This might be one of the oldest traditional uses for peppermint. Contemporary studies confirm that peppermint oil applied topically or intranasally can provide headache relief on par with traditional pain relievers or lidocaine.  Mix a drop or two of peppermint essential oil in a carrier oil like jojoba. Use your fingertips to massage the oil into your temples, being careful not to get too close to your eyes. (Trust me, peppermint plus eyeballs is not a good combo.) Or add 5 to 10 drops of peppermint oil to a diffuser and practice some resonance breathing. This is especially great if you have a tension headache.  Prevent Nausea and Vomiting A buddy of mine had surgery a while back. As part of the post-op care, the hospital offered him the option of aromatherapy—choosing between a few different scents, including peppermint, which he could sniff to control post-surgical nausea and vomiting. And it worked, which he thought was pretty cool. I've since heard of other hospitals starting to use this approach. In a couple studies I looked at, not only does peppermint oil mitigate nausea and vomiting, patients preferred it to antiemetic drugs. Peppermint oil aromatherapy has proven effective postoperatively, as my friend can attest, during pregnancy, and while undergoing chemotherapy. Products containing peppermint oil can also help with motion sickness. Possibly Relieve Itching Chronic itching, called pruritus, can drive you up a wall. Two small studies suggest peppermint oil might help. In one, participants applied either peppermint oil or petroleum jelly over areas of chronic itch twice daily for two weeks. In the other, pregnant women took either a placebo or peppermint oil diluted in sesame oil twice a day orally … Continue reading "Peppermint Essential Oil: Uses and Benefits" The post Peppermint Essential Oil: Uses and Benefits appeared first on Mark's Daily Apple.
