Mentha Arvensis Or Mint Oil

Many are familiar with the essential oil peppermint. Even spearmint is pretty well known in certain health and holistic circles. However, Mentha Arvensis isn't necessarily the same type of mint oil. It's much more subdued and is usually referred to as water mint or corn mint.

There are many different purposes that this oil serves and ways that it can be used for the betterment of specific ailments. The oil has a menthol quality, which makes it naturally cooling, and shares some common chemical constituents with many of the other mint variations that have already been mentioned. Here are some of the ways this mint oil can be helpful.

Digestive Issues

Do you find that you sometimes suffer from gas, bloating, constipation or a myriad of other very uncomfortable symptoms having to do with digestion? Digestive issues are so incredibly common and instead of reaching for the Tums or Alka-Seltzer, you should try treating your discomfort with some mint oil.

Try adding a couple of drops of the oil to a lighter oil like apricot or jojoba. Rub it on your entire stomach, from lower to upper regions, and you'll be stunned how fast it will start to provide you with relief.

Pain And Inflammation

Naturally, many of the mint oils have properties that are anti-inflammatory and pain relieving. This type of oil will work on many different types of pain. Do you suffer from arthritis or rheumatism and your joints start to bother you during a specific time of the day?

Keep a bit of this oil on hand to rub into your problem areas. If you suffer from leg cramps or spasms, this oil also helps those as well. You don't need to suffer from tremendous discomfort and pain when this oil can provide you a bit of ease and relief with simple and consistent application.

Mood Enhancer

This oil is an intrinsic mood lifter. If you are feeling boggled down or overwhelmed, this oil can be a real pick me up. It awakens the senses and can lift moods easily. It's also known to help keep people energized for specific tasks.

This includes increasing mental clarity. Put a couple of drops in your palms and then inhale deeply a few times. This will awaken your senses and immediately rid your consciousness of any negative or tired mood you had been grappling with prior.

Oral Care

Due to the antimicrobial, cooling and disinfectant properties of this oil, it's a great addition to any oral hygiene routine. If you are suffering from bad breath it can be because of digestion issues or retention that is occurring with remains in your body.

This oil can directly address that. Mix two drops of Mentha Arvensis oil in with lemon oil, salt and warm water. Use this gargle both morning and night to enjoy a much more refreshed and cleaner mouth. You can also directly apply the oil to teeth that are hurting. It works well on tooth aches.
