Oil of a Buoyant Heart & Digestion
Peppermint brings joy and buoyancy to the heart and soul. It invigorates the body, mind and spirit and reminds us that life can be happy and there is nothing to fear. It lifts us out of our emotions for a little while. When we use Peppermint, we feel as though we’re gliding through life. It assists us in staying on the surface of emotional issues like a water skier on a lake.
