Headaches and Peppermint Soap Essential Oil Peppermint with Sea Clay and Shea Butter

Headaches and migraines have plagued me most of my life. I remember many a miserable day not wanting to see anyone or do anything but lay with an ice pack on my head to minimize the pain.
Peppermint with Sea Clay and Shea Butter


During my teen years, since I had much less responsibility than I do now, I usually would choose the ice pack in bed and try to sleep it off. If that did not work or I could not go to bed, I resorted to some Advil. Those of you who have suffered migraines know that it is next to impossible to go on with life when you have one. There is no pretending you feel good when it feels like there is a 2 x 4 stuck in your head.When got I married, multiple changes came into my life. Probably one of the biggest for me was a major improvement in my diet. Praise the Lord! The diet changes resulted in fewer and fewer headaches and almost no migraines. Although they are rare now, I still have headaches from time to time especially when I am pregnant. I have not quite figured out if this is hormonal or due to other issues. With Advil out of the picture, due to its long-lasting ill effects, I needed something else to provide immediate relief. I found this especially true when pregnant with my second child. My first, who was only 8 months old when I conceived again, still needed my attention even when I felt like I could not get my head off the pillow. After reading and researching extensively, I came across something that was simple, affordable and very effective: Peppermint Essential Oil. All I do is rub the oil on my temples or wherever there is pain. This has been a lifesaver for me! I cannot praise its effects enough! It provides a cooling sensation that is similar to an ice pack, but keeps me mobile,Now I use all about peppermint included this natural soaps amazing from naturalhandcraftedsoap.com

About a month ago I was dealing with the flu and fever. I always try and do whatever it takes to get better quickly, so I immediately started reading whatever I could on remedies for fever. I read that clove essential oil can do wonders. However, since I did not have any of the clove oil on hand I tried half a dozen drops of peppermint essential oil in a glass of water. It worked quickly to bring my fever down and I felt noticeably better the next morning. Im try this soap from naturalhandcraftedsoap.com

During our recent vacation to Florida, a rash showed up on my legs. There were patches near my ankle and one on my thigh. At first, I decided to wait it out a few days, hoping it would clear up on its own. Unfortunately, I am not very good at waiting especially if it seems to be getting worse. Without my herbs nearby, I tried rubbing peppermint essential oil on the rash twice a day or whenever it itched. Within two days the rashes cleared up. I am so glad I tried it!

Used a bar while visiting a friend, who told me to take it home. After one use, my wife told me to order more. The soap has a moisturizer that makes one's skin feel "buttery" and soft. I've given bars to friends and they've all loved it. Do yourself a favor..........order at least one bar and treat yourself, you'll be glad you did.
