10 Peppermint Oil Uses
Peppermint Oil Use #8: Hair Growth
You may have seen peppermint oil in high quality hair care products. Peppermint oil promotes hair growth by thickening and nourishing damaged hair. Peppermint oil was shown to stimulate hair growth when applied to the scalp with a carrier oil. It helps increase blood circulation on the scalp.
When the blood is flowing, the nutrients from the body can enter the hair follicle and therefore promote growth. Massage peppermint oil with a carrier oil into the scalp for 30 seconds and leave it in for 20 minutes. If it tingles too much, add more of the carrier oil. After that, rinse it out thoroughly and repeat biweekly.
