Simple and powerful, peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender essential oils are used for their anti fungal and antioxidant properties : qualities that help fight infection and symptoms that affect the respiratory tract. We all know “Vick’s Vapor Rub”, right? That’s the “feel the burn” quality of menthol. But the therapeutic-grade essential oils in On The Mend are not designed to “burn” the same way that a heavy dose of peppermint typically does. It works synergistically with all the other essential oils to soothe and relax nasal passages. So go ahead, rub some On The Mend Oil between your palms and breathe deep. Whether it’s cold, flu, or seasonal allergies, we added just the right dose of peppermint to contribute its expectorant, anti-inflammatory and overall invigorating properties.
