For aromatherapy and scent: Open the bottle and breathe in gently, or place a few drops on a tissue and hold it near your nose. If the aroma makes you feel worse, stop using it. Strong smells can be unsettling during treatment.
Steam inhalation: Pour 2–3 cups of recently boiled water into a heatproof bowl and let it cool for a minute or two. Add 2–5 drops of oil, place your face about 12" away, cover your head and the bowl with a towel, and breathe the steam slowly. Take care to avoid scalds. Not suitable if you have asthma or a respiratory condition.
Diffuser or oil burner: Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner, following the manufacturer’s instructions. A room spray is another option.
On the go: Add a few drops to one of our nausea relief diffuser bracelets.
Diluted massage (skin and scalp): Never apply peppermint oil directly to the skin. Always dilute it in a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil. A 1% dilution is a good starting point (around 6 drops of essential oil to 30ml of carrier oil). [Check this figure against your supplier’s guidance before publishing.] Do a patch test on a small area of skin first and wait 24 hours.
Precautions:
For external use only. Do not take internally. Never use undiluted on the skin.
Avoid contact with eyes and sensitive areas. Best avoided in facial massage.
Avoid broken, sore or irradiated skin, and any radiotherapy treatment area.
If you are having cancer treatment, check with your care team before applying essential oils to your skin or scalp.
Consult your healthcare professional before use during pregnancy or if you have asthma or another respiratory condition.
Do not use on or near children under 5. Keep out of reach of children.
Keep away from pets. Take particular care with diffusers around cats.
Store in a cool, dry place. Flammable.
