Peppermint has a long history of herbal use, such as alleviating digestive issues, headaches, and respiratory problems. Plus: cautionary notes for peppermint essential oil.
I was using this essential oil with my oil pulling regimen and have since stopped noticing an “allergic” response. I have heard you can create an allergy to essential oils if used liberally.
Yep, and peppermint is one of those oils that can really cause a reaction and an allergy - I had a reaction to it once when my massage therapist used a bunch of it "neat" (no dilution) on my head. My nerves were twitching like crazy for the next 24 hours.
