-
Cooling Temple & Neck Compress: Dilute 1 drop of Peppermint into 1 teaspoon of carrier oil (like Jojoba) and gently massage into temples, hairline, and back of the neck for an immediate cooling reset.

Aromatherapist's Tip: Peppermint is exceptionally potent due to its high menthol content. Always dilute well before applying to the skin, and keep away from the delicate eye area for a comfortable, cooling experience.
