WHAT IS IT?
Young Living's Peppermint is so potent and pure, that only 1 drop delivers the effectiveness of over 26 cups of pure peppermint tea!
Peppermint's primary active component - menthol - is extracted from the leaves and flowering tops of the peppermint plant. Research menthol for yourself and see how awesome it can be for your health and wellness!

Peppermint essential oil has been widely studied for its potential health benefits, and is a favorite for people all around the world. Peppermint is one of the most popular essential oils on the market, and seemingly appears to be available just about anywhere - but BEWARE, not all essential oils are created equal!  

If you were to pick up a different brand of Peppermint essential oil from the shelf at your health food store, you might notice that it also says "100% pure" on the bottle. That means it should be just as good as YL if it’s labeled that way, right? WRONG!

Did you know it is legal to sell  'pure peppermint essential oil' and have it contain ZERO peppermint?   Yes, just because of the % of menthol.
Flip the bottle over, you'll read in fine print that it says "do not ingest - for topical use only - for aromatic use only." There is your RED FLAG that it is not even remotely the same as Young Living. Unfortunately, store bought essential oils are only required to have a small percentage of 100% pure essential oil in order to be labeled 100% pure. (by law only 5%) The remainder of the ingredients are chemicals, perfumes, preservatives, and additives that have adulterated the essential oil's purity, making it very unsafe to ingest.

If you go outside and pick a peppermint leaf from the garden, you should be able to eat it. This goes for the essential oil form, too! You should be able to take that essential oil internally IF there is truly only peppermint inside that bottle.  

Young Living's Peppermint Vitality is the best and purest form of peppermint on the planet for internal use, even more powerful than the dried herb itself. When you open this bottle, you can be confident it has been rigorously tested and carefully extracted with a pure, untouched, and unadulterated seed to seal process.

HOW DO I USE IT?
Young Living's Peppermint essential oil is best experienced by applying, inhaling directly, and diffusing. Young Living's Peppermint Vitality essential oil can be used internally by taking in an empty vegetable capsule, drinking a drop in water, or adding a drop in your food recipes. With those terms of use, you are sure to experience the power of peppermint to its fullest. I love it in my water, and in my coffee, and use it in a bunch of recipes.   You will too!  

It is a hot oil, so remember to have coconut oil (or a carrier oil) nearby incase you have it on your hand and go to the bathroom or itch your eye.   Just apply the carrier oil on top and it will slow down the absorption and no more tingle.  
I love putting a drop on your thumb and press it against the roof of your mouth to open up clogged sinuses.   It works fast!   You are going to love this oil and the many benefits that are waiting for you to discover!

OH---- one more nugget for you!!!   We call it LLP
If you are one of the people who struggles with seasons, here's big help for you!    
The difference between VITALITY and non vitality oils is ONLY THE LABEL.   
It is a FDA approval for internal use.  Same oil inside bottles.
So... for your seasonal stuff. You use 3 drops of lemon, lavender, and peppermint.
In your diffuser, in your hands and breathe deep, or in a capsule and swallow. 
You are going to love the results!
