Peppermint and hair
The best way to support your hair is through eating a balanced diet and proper maintenance.
Genetics also has a part to play in hair growth. So, if your parents for example enjoy good hair growth – chances are you might too.
However, that is not to say that you cannot do something to help support your hair.
Some essential oils, such as peppermint oil, may offer additional support - especially if you suffer from a dry, flaky or congested scalp.

Peppermint oil has a number of uses and it can help in many different ways.
Peppermint can help to ease the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and stomach cramps as well as helping to soothe tired muscles and relieve the effects of common colds.
Peppermint can also help promote hair growth and healthier looking skin. Its strong soothing aroma gives a wonderfully refreshing feeling.
The NHS suggests that one way to ease irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is through the use of peppermint oil.
IBS affects the digestive system, often resulting in bloating, diarrhea, cramps and constipation.

While peppermint oil is known to offer some relief to those suffering from IBS, it is always important to consult a professional first before using any remedies or supplements.
