• Foot Spa: To give tired feet a boost, add a drop or two of Peppermint Essential Oil Organic to a pool of warm water, and immerse your feet for fifteen minutes or more.
• Insect Repellent: Add 8-10 drops of Peppermint Oil to a 15ml roller bottle and top with Fractionated Coconut Oil to create a natural insect repellent. You can also create a spray for your home by adding 10-20 drops to a spray bottle topped with water and a dash of alcohol or vinegar. Spray around the outside of your home (doors and window frames in particular) to help deter insects.
• Rodent Deterrent: Pour a few drops of Organic Peppermint onto several tissues or cotton buds and place them in the area where rodents are an issue (for example, your roof).
• Fast Remedy: Add 1-2 drops of Organic Peppermint Oil onto a tissue, hold away from your nose to avoid direct skin contact and inhale. Alternatively, for similar effects, smell the oil directly from the bottle.

Note: Due to its high menthol content, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil may crystallise in cooler temperatures. Gently heating your oil bottle in a cup of warm water will return it to its liquid state.

Organic Peppermint Oil is particularly potent, so the recommended topical application is less than the regular recommended amount. Please note that the following guidelines are recommended for healthy adults:

• General Use: 1 – 2% dilution (2 – 4 drops per 10ml)
• Facial Application: 0.5 – 1% dilution (1 – 2 drops per 10ml)
