The scent of peppermint was noticed in a meeting this week, which prompted me to share my secret – I dab a few drops of peppermint essential oil behind my ears for a little burst of energy. It seemed to peak interest, so I decided to share the benefits of a few of my favorite essential oils…

Lavender is at the top of my list. It is one of the most powerful remedies in the plant world, offering hundreds of benefits, including relief for burns, migraines, insect bites, skin problems, infections, stress and nervous tension.

Peppermint is not just great for energy and alertness, it also relaxes spasms, strengthens gums, stops hair loss, lifts skin, induces firmness in muscles, promotes memory, clears congestion, eases breathing, reduces fever, and relieves stomach ailments.

Lemon is another essential oil with amazing health benefits. It helps insomnia relief, boosts the immune system, weight loss, treats asthma, brightens complexion, lowers blood pressure and improves circulation
