Some uses for Mints

[Guest guest]

Deb Shuman posted this to another list a while back. We all know that Mint

Meadows has the very best Mint EO's.

Take a cotton ball, place a few drops of peppermint EO on it and place the

cotton ball in the areas where your having the mice problems, they say it

keep them away,,,, now I don't know we have tons of mice all running around

our mint fields so you figure that one out,,,, I do place the dried mint

leaves under our trailer in camp grounds every fall to keep mice out over the

winter, we never have had any mice problems and we smell much better than all

neighbors that put moth balls under their trailers and still have mice

problems, I also use the EO drops on the cotton balls during the summer, we

have had no mice problems.

Peppermint is good for upset bellies, just a drop or two in a glass of water

helps, it can be warm or cold, which ever you prefer to drink.

During the summer for sunburn I place peppermint EO in aloe vera gel and

apply to the sun burn, the peppermint won't cure it but the menthol in

peppermint will cool the burn, of course I always use this after taking a

shower using peppermint soap or peppermint shower gel.
