Aching backs and sore muscles are inevitable. Unfortunately, these two things don’t make it easy to live your life at full speed. Luckily, there are plenty of over-the-counter painkillers that can help with this problem, but if you’re looking for something natural and healthy, mint extract oil may be just what you need!
What is Mint Extract Oil?
Mint extract oil is extracted from mint leaves via steam distillation. This results in a green colored oil with a strong minty smell. Mint extract oil is commonly used in cosmetics, beauty products, medical devices and food additives. It has many uses that make it very popular among consumers. For example, it is often used to help relieve headaches caused by tension or migraines.
It's also commonly referred to as Peppermint oil. The reason is that most of these oils are made from peppermint leaves. Some brands, however, use other types of mint leaves like spearmint or wintergreen instead. This is why you might notice a difference in smell between brands of mint extract oil. But don't worry! The smell will go away once it has been diluted with a carrier oil like coconut or olive oil and applied topically.
How To Use Mint extract
Mix 5 drops of peppermint oil (or our product recommendation below of Sunrider Sunbreeze Essential Oil) with a teaspoon of coconut oil or olive oil. Gently massage it into aching muscles or onto your lower back.
For best results, do it at night before bedtime, after you've had a long day that involved lots of physical activity. You'll wake up refreshed! It can also be applied when you need some relief from headaches caused by stiff muscles in your shoulders or neck. Rub it on these parts to enjoy more restful sleep. You can apply mint extract with a carrier oil (olive oil, coconut oil) for topical application.
Or add 5 drops into 1/4 cup of boiling water and inhale deeply through your nose. This is another way to use mint extract as aromatherapy: inhaling its fragrance through steam will help soothe sore muscles and relieve stress while boosting energy levels too!
The benefits of peppermint are not limited to easing muscle pain: Many people use peppermint essential oil as an air freshener because its fresh scent helps eliminate odors from pets, cooking, or smoke. The cooling effect from peppermint essential oil is also perfect for hot days when you want something refreshing but don't want to consume anything cold because it's too hot outside.
The Side Effects Of Peppermint
Peppermint is not only useful as a natural remedy against nausea, indigestion, stomach pains, or headaches. Many massage therapists believe that using mint extract can also be beneficial when applied with a thorough massage.
The effects are pretty amazing: Peppermint oil acts as a natural painkiller and muscle relaxer. It's super helpful when it comes to comforting aching backs and sore muscles. This is why some athletes turn to peppermint extract before any important race or game.
