Peppermints main constituent is menthol, but it does have salicylates which is in fact a natural blood thinner. However I have never heard of the use of peppermint causing bleeding. However, being it does contain salicytates, it would be foolish to say that it does not thin the blood.
I would be careful the times that I use peppermint. It is my favorite oils and I could write for hours about the benefits of it, especially our CPTG brand. And the notion that the doTERRA brand is a great natural blood thinner may be fantastic knowledge to have!
Thank you for your story. And definitely enjoy peppermint, I would just be careful during times of discharge.

I am brand new to using oils but have noticed what could be either an
odd coincidence or a possible reaction to peppermint.
Several years ago while I was a few months pregnant I put some
peppermint oil on the bottom of my feet and I immediately started
bleeding and I thought I was going to lose the baby. Fortunately
everything was fine after about a day. I never touched oils again
until the past week. I again applied the peppermint to the bottom of
my feet and on my forehead and the back of my neck a few seperate
times. I have 2 more weeks until I am supposed to get my period and I
have been bleeding for about 5 days. I'm wondering if maybe I
shouldn't use the peppermint? I would love any opinions and advice!!
