WOW!! Is all I can say about this weather! August is suppose to be the lazy, hazy days of Summer….lazy is far from the truth. Everybody is soooooo busy trying to get all the last minute summer fun crammed in before school starts that people I believe have “checked out” of their bodies for the time being….but hazy is a good word to describe August. The hot & humid days has placed a haze over everything.
A wonderful essential oil to help with the heat is Peppermint Oil. It is perfect for the dog-days of summer! Here are a couple tips:
* Put a drop in water for a cool, quick pick-me up drink.
* To help with headaches one drop of Peppermint on your temples and back of neck.
* Peppermint helps bugs stay away. I put drops on the floor of my Tack Room outside and no more bugs, mice or birds where I keep all my horse equipment.
* Diffuse Peppermint as a great pick me up in your home or office. Great way to stay awake when all you really want to do is lay in a hammock in the shade and read a book!
* A drop or two on your tongue will take away indigestion.
Go ahead and find that shade and enjoy your summer days!
