Headache relief

Open airways
Peppermint is used in aromatherapy to open up congested or tight breathing passages. Steam inhalation is an easy way to use it for this.
Allergy and sinus support
It is a great help during allergy season and when your sinuses feel stuffed up.
A calmer, brighter mood
Peppermint has long been used in aromatherapy to lift the spirits. It helps ease anxiety and negativity and replaces them with positive, stable feelings.
Tummy comfort
Blended with Roman Chamomile and Schisandra in Argan Oil and massaged onto the belly, it helps ease digestive discomfort.
How to use
