10 Peppermint Oil Uses
Peppermint Oil Use #3: Fever & Headache Reducer
Because of the cooling effect of menthol, an organic compound found in the peppermint plant, it has the ability to reduce a fever or headache. A study indicated that a topical treatment of peppermint oil was more effective than the placebo giving to the patients.
When you apply peppermint oil by rubbing it on the neck, forehead or bottom of the feet, it can stabilize and provide healing to the fever or headache. If you are applying this use to a child, dilute the oil with a carrier oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, before rubbing on those areas.
