I used to work at the telephone company in a very large room with people coughing, hacking and sneezing away. Well I don't like to get sick. So when that happens one thing I can do is to put two or three drops of peppermint essential oil on a napkin, then I would bring that napkin to my nose and breathe that peppermint essential oil in.
You see peppermint essential oil is antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial. So if you would breathe in the smell of peppermint essential oil, its small particles would enter the nose, sinuses and lungs. So during the time of people coughing, hacking and sneezing, one might want to breathe in these small particles of peppermint essential oil.
Plus the smell of peppermint essential oil is quite nice to me. Oh, by the way I am not a doctor and you should always do your own research and do a study on the antiviral, anti-fungal and antibacterial properties of peppermint essential oil.
OK, with that said, I do breathe in the smell of peppermint essential oil, especially when I see the coughing, hacking and sneezing of my co-workers. When I do this I seem to do well and not get sick.
Now I have gotten sick before, but that was when I was off my guard. Usually when I didn't get enough sleep and I didn't take in my vitamins and didn't eat right and I didn't have any essential oil at the time.
One thing about peppermint essential oil is that it is good if you have asthma. I don't have asthma, but my brother does have asthma and my mom put a couple of drops on his hands and he brought his hands to his nose and breathe it in.
He liked it so much that after that he gave me money so I could order it on Amazon. My brother won't use a credit card on the internet, so I will order for him.
I tried to tell my brother that instead of putting the oil directly on his hands, that he can put it on a napkin, but he likes it on his hands better.
I told him to be careful as if he would touch his eyes with that peppermint oil on his fingers, his eyes will burn and burn like crazy. He told me that he likes it better on his hands. Well, I guess if he keeps it on the palms of his hands. I like the napkin way for myself.
There is also away to clean the air with peppermint essential oil, by putting it in an essential oil diffuser. There all all kinds of diffusers. I have the simple kind that uses a tealight candle to heat up the what looks like a little dish that I put some water and some drops of the peppermint essential oil in. This is one way to put the smell of peppermint in the house and clean the air at the same time.
Let's end with a scripture, And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. Matthew 2:11.
