Muscle Cramps or Spasms?

If you are having muscle cramps or spasms a great natural way to help calm and relieve the pain is peppermint. A little bit of peppermint essential oil on the problem are will help relax the muscles. 


Here in the spa we do carry many essential oils and the Jurlique Peppermint Oil is definitely one of my favorites. Peppermint has many great uses, so you will not regret the purchase! You can stop into our organic boutique or purchase this product by going to our online store. Enjoy!

Below are some other useful uses and benefits.


Uses and Benefits of Peppermint Oil

Peppermint oil is often used in aromatherapy, or the use of essential oils to support health. Studies have found that aromatherapy is effective in relieving anxiety, pain, and vomiting, as well as improving memory. The aroma of peppermint oil has been shown to improve memory and raise alertness.
According to findings, peppermint oil exhibits antiviral, antimicrobial, antifungal, antioxidant, analgesic, radioprotective, and antiedema properties.
Below are other common uses of peppermint oil:

  • Relief for Stomach Problems
  • Peppermint oil is a safe and effective alternative to medications like Buscopan in reducing colonic spasms. It eases abdominal pain by allowing gas to pass through easily. Peppermint oil also provides relief for indigestion and upset stomach.
    Research has also shown that peppermint oil is effective in improving the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Another show that it has helped reduce total irritable bowel syndrome score by 50 percent among 75 percent of the participants.
    Peppermint contains large concentrations of menthol and is twice as potent in the essential oil form in decreasing smooth muscle spasm and blocking calcium channels in the gut.

  • Respiratory Benefits
  • Peppermint oil can be used as an expectorant and decongestant. It can clear up phlegm in your respiratory tract when used as a chest rub or inhaled through a vaporizer.
    The essential oil may also provide benefits to individuals with tuberculosis. Researchers found that when inhaled, the oil can help decrease tuberculosis-induced inflammation and prevent the disorder from worsening or recurring.
    Peppermint oil can also work against asthma as it contains rosmarinic acid, which helps curb inflammation-causing chemicals that may cause the condition.

  • Pain Relief
  • Peppermint is beneficial in addressing pain. It can be used to relieve sore muscles when used with massage or added to bath water. Dabbing a few drops on your wrist or inhaling the aroma can reduce headache pain. Like with sore muscles, it can be massaged onto your temples.

  • Positive Effect on Cancer-Related Treatments
  • Peppermint oil can substitute drugs that address chemotherapy-induced nausea. It can also help treat hot flashes in women receiving treatment for breast cancer.

  • Treatment of Herpes Infections
  • Peppermint oil was found to have a beneficial effect on drug-resistant herpes simplex virus when applied topically. Because of its lipophilic nature, peppermint oil is able to pass through the skin, making it an ideal treatment against recurrent herpes infection.
    Using peppermint oil on shingles rash also improves pain induced by the disease.

  • Hair and Skin Health
  • Mixing peppermint oil into massage oils, shampoos, body washes, and lotions gives these products antiseptic and antimicrobial properties, helping cool skin and eliminate dandruff or lice from your scalp. It can also improve frizzy hair and may contribute to hair growth.
    Peppermint oil can aid in oil secretion in skin, therefore preventing acne. It can also heal cracked lips, which is why it's often an ingredient in lip balms.

  • Dental Health
  • Peppermint oil extract is shown to be more effective than the mouthwash chemical chlorhexidine in preventing the development of biofilm that contribute to cavities. It can also prevent bad breath. To use, just add one to two drops to your toothpaste.

  • Comfort for Stress and Nervous System Problems
  • Due to its energizing effects, peppermint oil is used to manage stress and treat nervous disorders and mental fatigue. Studies suggest that the essential oil may have an effect similar to psychostimulants, as shown in a study involving mice.
In addition to these health benefits, peppermint oil can also be used as a natural insect repellent. The cooling sensation provided by peppermint can also help relieve itching caused by insects by blocking the sensation.

Coconut Oil Tricks Everyone Must Know!

Today I would love to tell you all about the many amazing health, beauty and wellness benefits of Coconut Oil.

Eight Surprising Beauty Tricks: 
1. Hair mask:
 Coconut oil is a creamy solid at room temperature, and turns 
to liquid when heated to 76°F. While in the shower, melt your coconut oil 
by running the jar under the warm water. Then, after shampooing, apply
 a generous amount of the oil to wet strands and twist hair into a bun. Let it
 sit for at least five minutes before rinsing to add moisture and shine back into 
limp locks.
2. Body oil:
After showering apply the oil to moist warm skin all over body
 and enjoy smooth hydrated tropically scented skin all day long!
3. Lip balm:
Warm the oil then poor it into a contact lens container and take your new 
lip gloss with you wherever you may need! 
4. Cuticle softener:
Simply apply oil to cuticles as needed.
5. Under eye cream:
Looking for an inexpensive alternative to under eye creams? Apply a 
small amount of coconut oil under eyes and say goodbye to puffy eyes, 
dark circles, and wrinkles!
6. Makeup remover:
To make your own coconut oil makeup remover wipes, melt 1 teaspoon of 
coconut oil per round cotton pad in a microwave-safe container. Then, lay 
the cotton pads in an even layer and let them soak up the oil overnight. 
Store them in the same container or in a plastic baggie and throw them in your
 carry-on or gym bag for easy makeup removal on the go!
7. Frizz fighter:
Rub a pea size amount of coconut oil between your fingers to warm it up,
 and then apply it to the bottom couple inches of your hair for all day 
frizz protection.
8. Shaving cream:
Ran out of Shaving cream? No worries! Just apply coconut oil to dry skin 
and shave as normal.Not only does this oil have amazing beauty uses, 
it also has many health benefits!

The Health Benefits 
Fat loss, better brain function and the Lauric Acid in Coconut Oil
 can kill bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Some of you may be thinking these health benefits sound great but are wondering how to eat more coconut oil in your day-to-day life?

I have found a few ways to eat coconut oil I would love to share with you all! 

Stir-fry and Pan-cooked Meals
Coconut oil is great for stir-fry. 
It can help your body absorb more of the 
vitamins in your veggies.


I use Coconut Oil as my go to beauty product, and cooking product.
Try our unrefined Coconut Oil for yourself and I promise you will also become a Coconut Oil addict!
