essential oil I ordered a couple of bottles of mint essential oil online today because it's an excellent antiseptic and I like using all things natural. I've also heard that it is completely energizing and since we have a long road trip coming up over spring break, I thought it would be nice to have the benefit of energizing aromatherapy in the car as we make our trek to Southern California to enjoy the beach and a little deep sea fishing with family members who live there. Essential oils are powerful, so I'll just need a little dab of this on my wrists to get all the benefit from it. I hope it has a pleasing odor, which I am sure it will, since mint itself has a wonderful aroma. I got the idea of using an essential oil for an antiseptic when I heard on a popular medical TV show that hydrogen peroxide is actually not the best antiseptic to use on a cut because it destroys even the healthy living tissue, so I started searching for other antiseptics online and learned that mint is a good one. The energizing benefits are just a bonus, so I chose to buy two bottles of the essential oil - one for the car, and one for the home. essential oil
