essential oil for pampering! One of our most versatile oils, we've

Whether

muscles, enjoy an invigorating foot scrub, or soothe an upset stomach,
peppermint essential oil can help! Here are a few quick and easy ways

a drop to herbal tea to help aid in digestion. You can also try

minor stomach discomfort associated with travel.

Our
peppermint essential oil comes from the most potent plants around the
globe—some is even grown on Young Living farms—and is tested to ensure
proper levels of menthol and menthone are in every bottle.
But
there's more to Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ peppermint than just
finding the best plants. The secret is in expert harvesting practices.
Peppermint is harvested when the field's overall appearance goes from
light to dark green. The growers make sure the plant has just started
to bloom before the peppermint is cut, and then water is carefully
measured prior to distillation to ensure the most potent constituents
are steam-extracted.
Peppermint essential oil is used a variety of popular Young Living products:
Rediscovering Lavender
Lavender
is one essential oil that can be used in every home, and this month
it's all about rediscovering its many uses! Young Living's lavender is
a more natural alternative to many store-bought products, and once you

without it.

and easy ways to incorporate its benefits into your daily routine:
Relaxation
- Massage lavender into the back of the neck or bottom of the feet for relaxation.
- Add a few drops of lavender to your bath water for a relaxing soak.
- Diffuse lavender before bed to quiet the mind and prepare for sleep.
Skincare
- Soothe minor burns by applying 2–3 drops to the affected area.

- Reduce or minimize scar tissue by massaging it on or around affected areas.
- Apply 2–3 drops to relieve itching and soothe skin.
You
may have seen other lavender-like products that promise the same
benefits as true lavender essential oil. However, these synthetic
products merely duplicate the aroma of lavender, and cannot offer the
health-enhancing benefits of Young Living Therapeutic Grade™ lavender.
We
offer a full line of safe, effective skincare products, each an ideal
alternative to the perfume-grade lavender found elsewhere:
- Lavender Volumizing Shampoo
- Lavender Volumizing Conditioner

- Lavender Hand & Body Lotion
- Lavender Lip Balm
- Lavender Bath & Shower Gel
