Natural Beauty Recipe: Peppermint Twist Foot Treatment for Tickle-Worthy Toes
by Tracy Neely
Peppermint belongs to the labiatae mint family of plants. Peppermint Essential Oil is highly regarded for soothing digestion. It is also widely used in foot treatments to relieve sore feet. The primary constituent of peppermint oil is menthol, which causes a physical reaction when inhaled or applied to the skin. The essential oil is both soothing to the spirit and energizing to the body.
Personally speaking when I have had a migraine headache, I apply peppermint essential oil to my temples as well as my shoulders to relive any tension I may be feeling.
Sea salt is obtained from evaporating sea water and is harvested through ocean water into large clay trays that allow the sun and wind to evaporate it naturally
Grape seed oil is extracted from the Vitis vinifera variety of grape. It is one of the most versatile carrier oils to use with essential oils in beauty treatments and is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin E. As one of the fat-soluble vitamins, Vitamin E helps retain moisture in the skin and prevents dryness. Store grape seed oil and away from direct sunlight.
