Hello again...it has been far too long since I have posted. Here is a little bit about Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) It is one of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for sooothing digestion. Scientists have researched peppermints role in affecting impaired taste and smell when inhaled. I am going to list the many uses of Peppermint. I mentioned in an earlier post if you only use 2 oils ...Peppermint and Lavender are almost all you need. I only can vouch for Young Living Products as they are so pure most are ingestible...they use only the first press and add no chemicals. www.youngliving.com/nani911 for product information and ordering.
