8. Peppermint
The humble peppermint plant, a favorite in the world of gardeners and essential oils fans, brings with it a copious amount of potential applications. Healthy and beautiful fanatics rejoice at the mention of its name, given the miraculous potency on its leaves in clearing up skin conditions. Invigoratingly minty, this essential oil can give you an unexpected lift, relieving pain and improving digestion at the same time with much more of a kick than even the mintiest stick of gum.
The common cold and the flu are afraid of its refreshing ability to clean whilst parasites run in every other direction following its topical application. If you suffer from excess gas or even bloating, peppermint essential oil can help with that too, cooling and soothing wherever it is used. This really is an essential oil that people keep coming back to. Many try and compete, few succeed. Peppermint oil is the business.
