New York Biology Essential Oils - Peppermint




    I received the 1 oz bottles of 100% pure and natural Tea Tree oil, Lavender oil, and Peppermint oil  from New York Biology. They all came with the little dropper for easier use. Tea Tree oil works great for what I needed, which was to ward off fleas and mosquitos.

   Essential oils are great for many things – I used the New York Biology tea tree oil to prevent flea bites and keep mosquitos away by adding a few drops to a small spray bottle with some water and spritzing on my ankles, legs and arms. I also add a little bit to my shampoo. I researched other uses and it can be mixed with warm water and gargled for fresh breath and also sore throat. Add to a steamer to help clear sinuses.  Add with baking soda to a container you can shake out and sprinkle on carpet for a DIY carpet freshener.

  Lavender is one of the best smelling essential oils, in my opinion. I was thrilled when I received my New York Biology 100% pure and natural Lavender essential oil. (Kashmir) . Lavender scented bath bombs were at the top of my list to things to do with it. Toss them in the bath before bedtime for a relaxing night’s sleep.

  I love making new recipes with my essential oils. I love that the Peppermint oil smells like candy canes - Reminds me of Christmas. I received my New York Biology 100% pure & natural peppermint oil just in time. I had a really bad headache today and since peppermint oil is associated to help with headaches, I decided to try out a balm. It worked like a charm. Only took about a half hour for it to go away completely. I mixed about 2 tsp of coconut oil with a couple drops of peppermint oil and rubbed it on my hands. Cup your hands together and let the peppermint oil do its work.

  Another wonderful piece of information learned was how to remove a splinter easily with tea tree oil.  My grandson is an outdoor kid. He loves to play around with stuff he finds outside and right now, using boards to make ramps is his favorite trick. With boards comes splinters.

To remove them easily, and as painlessly as possible, you will need the following:

2-3 drops of New York Biology Tea Tree Oil
1-2 tsp coconut oil (vegetable oil will also work – any carrier oil or liquid neutral oil)
2 tbsp Epsom Salt
Bowl of warm water

   Add the tea tree oil, coconut oil, and Epsom salt to the bowl of warm water and soak your finger for about 7-10 minutes. Just enough to soften up the skin. Apply pressure just below the splinter to work it out. When you see the splinter protrude, use a pair of tweezers to grab it out making sure to be careful and not break it off.  I received this bottle of tea tree oil at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.
