Peppermint
August

Essential oil of the month
School clothes already!
Vacation by the sea
Steamy romance novels
Walk along the beach, seashell-finding
Record breaking heat wave
Running through the sprinkler
Conversations in the cool of the night

The versatile essence comes from the peppermint plant. You can actually feel the coolness of mint by putting your hand near a mint plant on a hot sunny day.

Doesn’t Peppermint sound like the perfect oil this month? It can help us feel:

• Less hazy
• Invigorate us when we are lazy
• Stabilize us when we are crazy responding to the many activities of summer

Warning: Peppermint is not recommended to use with any homeopathic remedy. Peppermint may also irritate the eyes and the mucus membranes of individuals with hay fever.
