What is with this peppermint oil??
Since I posted this at the beginning of August, I haven't touched the
peppermint.
I take the vitamins and use the Breathe blend and Slim and Sassy just
fine.
However, last night I as feeling nauseated and I was too scared to use
the peppermint topically, so I put it in my diffuser.
Of course I get a bloody nose!! What the?? Apparently peppermint oil
hates me and likes to make me bleed.
