It is especially helpful in soothing an aching back, sore muscles, and melting away a tension headache. A study shows that peppermint oil applied topically has pain relief benefits associated with Fibromyalgia and Myofascial Pain Syndrome. The study found that peppermint oil, eucalyptus, menthol, capsaicin and other herbal preparations may be helpful. Calyptus, menthol, capsaicin and other herbal preparations.(1) Try my recipe for homemade muscle rub to ease muscle pain. 2. Sinus Care –Inhaling diffused peppermint oil can oftentimes immediately unclog your sinuses and offer relief to scratchy throats. Peppermint acts as an expectorant and may provide relief for colds, cough, sinusitis, asthma, and bronchitis. 3. Joint Therapy –When your joints get achy, applying some pure peppermint oil mixed with lavender oil can cool muscles like an ice bath, but help you to stay warm and dry. 4. Reduce Hunger Cravings –Inhaling peppermint essential oil can stave off the munchies and can help you feel full faster.

I've been drinking a mug of chicken bone broth first thing every morning and it has done amazing things! 👍 It curbs my hunger (did you know bone broth can have more than a gram of protein per ounce?!! That means a mug like this probably has 12 grams of protein!) 👍It reduces my bloating and reactions to other foods I am normally sensitive to. 👍It makes me feel so good, I go for a second mug in the afternoon. I keep a slow cooker full of continuous broth so that I can scoop some out anytime!.
