Thumbs up peppermint oil
recently i've figured out that peppermint oil really settles my stomach. also calming/cooling me down at the same time(it's anti-inflamatory) I'm not sure if it works with peppermint tea, but the oil is very strong so it works well.

peppermint oil and also the tea is great for digestive stuff

also, if you have a headache, a drop of peppermint oil on each temple is very soothing (CAUTION DO *NOT* PUT IT NEAR EYES!!!)

Lightbulb peppermint is a carminative
which is a big word used to describe "settling the stomach".

I like peppermint tea myself.

But when using essential concentrated oils, be very careful.
They should be appropriately diluted before taking internally or applied to the skin.

Yah at first I tried diluting with water the first couple of times, Cuz i figured a drop of peppermint oil in 20 ounces of water wouldnt be that bad. But I guess, I should try diluting it with other oils like it says in that page. I wouldn't know what oils to dilute it with though? --grapeseed oil wouldn't exactly taste good with peppermint and which ones would be the cheapest, and less flavor affecting of the oils?
