Fresh, Fun, and Family-Friendly: Creative Ways to Use doTERRA Peppermint

September 30, 2025

When you think of peppermint, you probably picture candy canes or holiday treats—but doTERRA’s Peppermint essential oil goes way beyond flavor. It’s one of those oils I always keep on hand because it’s so versatile.

Benefits of Peppermint Oil:

  • Refreshing Aroma: Just a drop in your palms, inhale deeply, and you’ll feel instantly uplifted.
  • Cooling Sensation: Dilute with a carrier oil and apply to the back of your neck for a crisp, cooling effect—especially nice after time outdoors.
  • Natural Freshness: One drop in the diffuser leaves your whole space smelling bright and clean.
  • Instant Pick-Me-Up: Keep it on hand to wake up your senses when you’re feeling sluggish.

Family-Friendly Ways to Use Peppermint Oil:

  • After Outdoor Play: Make a cooling spray (peppermint + water in a small spray bottle) for a refreshing mist on warm days.
  • Homework Helper: Diffuse to create an energizing environment while kids are working or studying.
  • Road Trips: Keep a roller blend handy for a fresh, uplifting scent in the car.
  • Sports & Activities: Add a drop to a cotton ball and tuck it into gym shoes or sports bags for freshness.
  • Around the Home: Diffuse with citrus oils for a clean, inviting scent everyone enjoys.

DIY “Cooling Energy” Roller Blend (Make & Take Recipe):

  • 10 drops doTERRA Peppermint
  • 5 drops doTERRA Lemon
  • 5 drops doTERRA Frankincense
  • Top with Fractionated Coconut Oil in a 10 mL roller bottle

How to use: Roll on wrists, the back of your neck, or simply inhale from the roller when you want a crisp, refreshing aroma.

Whether you’re diffusing, blending, or spritzing, Peppermint is a staple oil that adds a burst of freshness and energy to your everyday routine.
