Peppermint Cautions

Do not use Peppermint Essential Oil on children under 30 months of age. The menthol can, in rare cases, cause a breathing spasm and cut off the air supply. Not recommended for those who are suffering from atrial fibrillation for the same reason.
​

If you are taking homeopathic remedies, the Essential Oil treatments must be given at least an hour apart to prevent them interfering with the homeopathic treatment, especially when using Peppermint, which should be two to three hours apart.
​

Peppermint stays on your fingers long after you have washed your hands and you could rub it into your eyes. Always apply Essential Oil with the little finger as it is least likely to get into your eye.
