A long time ago, my Mom and I went shopping with my girls. My hubs who was at my Mom’s house called and said he had a little tummy ache. She told him where she kept her essential oils and to grab the peppermint oil and pour a drop of it on his stomach. Almost instantly he said his tummy ache went away.
I thought to myself “Whatever!”
So maybe a year or two later at like 2:00 in the morning – I had an extreme upset stomach – my hubs said “Where’s the peppermint oil? Try it – It won’t hurt!” This time…I was like – “okay, I try anything to get to sleep!” So, I put two drops on my belly.
Well…it worked almost instantly! I couldn’t believe it!
Our last long car trip, my son got nauseous. We didn’t have our oils so we just gave him a peppermint from Sonic…it relieved it.
Then I started remembering how many times I’ve read in Amish books – how they drink peppermint tea. This idea has been around for years!
I’ve also read how just a drop of oil relieves a muscle ache or gives a boost of energy. (This hasn’t really worked for me as much but it might for others!)
I use Young Living Oils. I’ve smelled other brands and compared to Young Living they smell rancid. They are not cheap but a drop goes a LONG way!
Where there is no counsel, the people fall;
But in the multitude of counselors there is safety. (Proverbs 11:14)
Let me just say, I am a distributer for Young Living but I only buy for my family – I am not sharing this information to make any profit. However, if you would like to buy or be directed to someone who sales – just email me and I can get you their information. Again, I’m just learning and am not doing this to make any money (at least not right now in my life).

Wow this would have been handy info for when was preggers. I felt ill all the time back then!
I will definitely get some and give it a whirl next time somebody in our house gets a tummy ache.
I started using a mixture of essential oils designed for sinus problems and it is great!

I use essential oils for a ton of things, even for cleaning. I have never used Young Living–I have heard about them, though. Honestly, there is no way I could afford the cost. So, for now I use Acacia brand, I believe.
Peppermint tea and mints work for me too.
I’ve been using YLO for a couple of years. I have the advantage of two friends that are REALLY into them, so they just let me know if there’s an oil I need. But peppermint is definitely my favorite. We have always keeps a bag of peppermint candies in the car for long trips. It really helps! Lisa~
ive heard there are great oils for bath and such…. i do so love peppermint tea when im cramping!!
