I have major digestive issues, and wanted a naturally option for helping with my chronic nausea. I already take two prescription drugs, but they don't always work, and I don't love taking them multiple times per day. There are a few ways I choose to use this oil. The first is to put a few drops on a piece of gum, peppermints, or an antacid tablet. A drop or two on gum is wonderful for days I'm dealing with constant nausea. The oil seeps into the gum, so I have a lasting taste for as long as I'm chewing the gum. The mints are great when I have a sudden episode of relatively severe nausea. A few drops on an altoid seems insane, and it is intense, but it somehow overwhelms my nausea immediately. This is huge since the prescription medications I take can take 30-60 minutes to kick in. I do a drop or two on the antacid if I'm also dealing with heartburn. Supposedly peppermint oil can cause acid build up, but I've never had an issue. Still, I have days where I am having acid reflux type symptoms as well as nausea, so the combination of the oil and a few antacids is a lifesaver.
Another unexpected and awesome use, lip plumping! I found myself in the car one day, out of gum/mints/antacids, and dealing with major nausea. It was so severe I had to pull over. I had peppermint oil, but I knew it would burn badly if I consumed it directly. Instead I put a thin layer on my lips. The burn was subtle, more of a tingle, and I was able to get a little oil here or there for my stomach. Then I looked in the mirror and realized my lips had plumped a bit. I layered some lipgloss over it, and it was clear that the oil itself was having a plumping effect! I now use it pretty regularly for this purpose.
