Don't be Tricked by the 'Gun-Grabbers.'

Dear Friends of this humble Blog:
      I feel that the size of this great post is sufficient enough so that I don't need to elaborate more on this vital subject.  So just enjoy, learn and share, please.   Have a great day!
     Big thanks to my good, close friend and Army- Veteran Brother, JJ, who sent me this article !  Also a 'door gunner.'


Photos show covid masks and swabs contain 'hooks' and fibers that may attack your lungs

Over the weekend we published a series of nearly 40 microscope photos showing strange fibers, structures and even "hooks" that are embedded in the fibers of covid nasal swabs and masks. Many of these fibers appear to possess properties that would cause them to adhere to soft tissue such as lung tissue. Their presence in covid masks is very disturbing, given that these fibers are very likely easily inhaled and may lodge in lung tissue.

In today's Situation Update podcast, I narrate these microscopy photos and explain the disturbing truth: It appears these strange fibers and hooks are deliberately embedded in masks and swabs. We do not know their purpose but they are clearly designed to latch onto soft tissue (such as lung tissue) and cause harm of some kind.

The Reasons Why Leftists Will Never Successfully Disarm Americans

by Maya

Authored by Brandon Smith via Alt-Market.us,

Gun confiscation has always been the Holy Grail of totalitarian regimes. Without disarmament, fully centralized control of a population is not possible. And though it is true that not every evil regime seeks to disarm every single citizen (at least not right away), they always disarm the people they specifically intend to hurt the most.

For example, gun control advocates today like to point out that the Third Reich in Germany did not disarm the entire German population. This is a rather bizarre position for leftists as they continually wail and scream about Nazis around every corner and behind every tree, but they will STILL defend their gun grabbing policies by arguing that the Nazis were not as bad as conservatives assume. Of course, what they rarely mention is that the Nazis DID disarm millions of people; most of them Jews and political opponents under 1938 German gun laws.

The National Socialists disarmed the people they planned to destroy. It’s not hard to figure out why; they didn’t want their targets to be able to fight back. They allowed their political supporters to keep their weapons legally; this is not a relaxation of gun laws, in fact, it’s the reverse – It is selective enforcement of gun confiscation based on ideological loyalty.

Hilariously, leftists in the US when confronted with this fact double down on their gun control arguments. Instead of admitting their foolish error they will say: “Yes, the Nazis disarmed the Jews and others, but having guns would have made no difference in saving their lives…” And there you have it – The most backwards circular logic of all time. If Jews and others owning guns was not a deterrent to their slaughter, then why would the Nazis bother disarming them in the first place? Leftists have no answer to this question.

They are trying to argue against facts using a hypothetical; really, how would they know? Maybe owning guns might have saved the lives of millions of people the Nazis had deemed enemies of the state? Maybe it would have acted as a deterrent to the Holocaust? Maybe the Nazis would have been afraid to expand tyranny into Europe if they had to worry about their own population fighting back and disrupting their momentum? Maybe, WWII would have never happened? We could argue hypotheticals all day long…

What we do know for certain is that disarmament is ALWAYS one of the first steps by totalitarians in cementing their control of a population, and this is most common among the biggest political killers in modern history – And no, it’s not the Nazis; it’s the communists.

While a debate rages over the exact number of deaths attributed to communist governments, it is estimated that they are responsible for approximately 65 million to 100 million murders over the course of the last century, a genocide beyond anything history has ever seen before. These deaths were caused by direct means, such as shooting dissidents, or indirect means, such as imprisoning dissidents until they died from complications, or stealing food supplies from rural communities and allowing them to starve en masse.

Stalin in particular declared any theft of state property a crime punishable by death. He then at the same time declared that all production including food production was state property. So, if you eat food that was not granted to you by the state, you are stealing, and could therefore be shot. See how that works?

None of this would have been possible without gun control and confiscation laws put in place before the larger genocide was enacted. In 1918 the Bolsheviks and the Council of the People’s Commissar mandated that Russian citizens turn in their firearms under penalty of prosecution. Gun restrictions and penalties were increased over the years until WWII, when the Soviets were loath to arm their own population in response to Nazi invasion. In fact, the ease by which the Nazi army rolled through the Eastern front was partly due to the disarmament of the Russian population.

Communist governments only allow people to have firearms in their hands when they are fighting against the ideological and foreign foes of the regime. You are allowed to be cannon fodder for the elites, you are not allowed the means to defend yourself from those same elites.

Americans (primarily conservative Americans) have an in-depth understanding of this dynamic. While leftists are more concerned with rewriting history to their benefit, we are more concerned with learning from it. We know where gun control leads, and so did the Founding Fathers of our nation, which is why they codified gun ownership into the US constitution as an inalienable right under the 2nd Amendment. Here are the reasons why leftists, globalists and communists will NEVER be able to disarm the American population as they have done in previous nations…

We Know The History Of Gun Control

As noted above, we have studied the history of tyrants. There is no tyranny that has ever existed that did not try to disarm the population, or disarm the portion of the population the government intended to enslave or destroy. Leftists froth at the mouth trying to re-imagine history in a way that circumvents or ignores the tyranny issue when it comes to gun control. They are wasting their time.

They are never going to convince conservatives and moderates that gun confiscation was not a key step in the establishment of various tyrannies in modern history. All the mental gymnastics and manipulation, all the energy they spend trying to rationalize away genocide as somehow “inevitable” regardless of gun rights – it’s all for nothing. We are far smarter then they are. We are well versed in the legacy of gun control, and this makes their tactics useless.

We Understand Incrementalism – We Know All The Tricks

The level of dishonesty involved in gun control advocacy is astonishing. Leftists often use lies as a means to gain political capital; if they were completely honest about their intentions they would not receive much support from the general population for their efforts. Gun grabbers are very careful in most cases to use phrases like “common sense” when talking about new restrictions. They try to refrain from admitting what they really want is complete disarmament, at least, they tried until recently.

Incrementalism was the name of the game for decades, but in the past year they are going for broke. Some leftist politicians are openly admitting their true goals, because frankly the song and dance wasn’t working and they know conservatives aren’t going to allow any further encroachment on their rights.

I find it interesting that leftists are so astonished at our refusal to compromise on any further gun restrictions. They seem to think that any new violent shooting buys them new gun control capitol. Maybe that’s how things used to work, but not any longer. Frankly, these shootings are irrelevant to our gun rights. Punishing everyone for the crimes of a handful is no longer acceptable to conservatives because we know that if we give gun control advocates an inch, they will take a mile.

Kamala Harris, now Vice President of the US, is one of the many Democrats now openly seeking mandatory government buybacks of firearms and the dismantling of gun rights. However, it was Beto O’Rourke who really took the mask off when it came to the true intentions of gun grabbers.

Joe Biden is famous for his statements admonishing military grade weapons in civilian hands and telling people that a “double barreled shotgun” is “superior” to the AR-15 for home defense. Obviously, a two shot weapon with a limited effective range of around 50 yards or less makes it very difficult to fight back against government tyranny. And, we all know that eventually even the shotguns would be taken away.

Biden’s specific focus, though, seems to be Red Flag gun laws, which allow authorities to confiscate firearms from people not involved in criminal activity, and this is based on hearsay testimony and without due process. Criteria includes any “suspicion of mental illness”, which is completely subjective. Conservatives have been accused of mental illness because they oppose Covid lockdowns, they question vaccine safety, they question the legitimacy of Global Warming fear mongering in the media, etc. ANYTHING could be labeled a mental illness by the state and therefore make a person susceptible to Red Flag confiscation.

This is targeted incrementalism and selective enforcement of gun control, much like that used by the Nazis. Red Flag laws allow the government to attack political and ideological opponents one at a time and disarm them, just as the Nazis selectively targeted their political opponents for disarmament. We know where all of this is going. We’ve seen it before.

BLM Race Riots

Despite the false claims of the mainstream media, we have seen first hand the destruction and insanity perpetrated by Marxist groups like Black Lives Matter. They are anything but “peaceful”, they are dangerous in their lack of intelligence and logic, and their social justice ideology is a cancer that infects and debilitates every vital organ of Western civilization.

In his movie ‘Platoon’, Oliver Stone’s character Chris Taylor says: “Hell is the impossibility of reason”. If this doesn’t describe the social justice movement today then I don’t know what does.

If a group of people is determined to make every single tragedy about racism and “white supremacy” despite all facts to the contrary, and then use those tragedies as an excuse for mass violence, then they are zealots, and zealots cannot be reasoned with. They are cultists with a mission, and they will do anything to accomplish that mission.

In this case, the mission of Marxists within BLM and the globalist foundations that fund them (like Ford Foundation and Open Society Foundation) is to destroy the very fabric of America, “burn it to the ground”, and then rebuild it into an unrecognizable husk devoid of principles or freedom.

Yeah, I don’t think conservative gun owners are going to go along with that. Burning down their own neighborhoods is one thing, but they have tried to spread beyond the borders of their own garbage cities in the past, and we aren’t going to allow them to act violently. For this reason alone, conservatives will never disarm.

The Control Agenda Is Out In The Open

There is a reason why leftists and globalists are so obsessed with taking away combat ready firearms from Americans, and it’s not about “saving lives”. These weapons act as a deterrent to full blown tyranny. As long as they exist, our ability to take back our other rights and freedoms exists.

If anything has convinced gun owners of the need for firearms, it has been the past year of pandemic fear mongering. What have we learned so far? Well, we are now fully aware of the “Great Reset” agenda, which has been promoted nonstop by the World Economic Forum and various political leaders. This agenda calls for years of economic lockdowns and medical mandates, forced vaccination, medical passports without which a person might be completely removed from the economy, a new cashless society, a shared economy in which you will “own nothing and like it”.

The medical or vaccine “passports” are particularly disconcerting. For one, governments don’t necessarily have to enforce them right away. Rather, they can simply allow their corporate partners to demand said passports from anyone that wants to get a job or shop in their stores. Once this system is ingrained into the consumer world, governments can then step in and make passports a legal requirement. Eventually, the passports give the establishment the ability to control and micro-manage every aspect of every individual life. Without compliance to every whim, the technocrats can easily void your passport, and then you die from poverty and starvation.

This would be impossible to do in a country where a majority of the population is armed. I think it’s safe to say most Americans do not want to live in the dystopian world that the globalists at the WEF envision, and we will fight to ensure it does not happen.

Tyranny Is Enforced By Armed Men On The Ground

My favorite mantra of gun grabbers is the claim that “Your AR-15 isn’t going to help you against an Abrams tank or a predator drone”. These people don’t understand how totalitarian systems function. In order to control a population, you have to have loyal troops on the ground…everywhere. Not only that, but you also need loyal civilians, a large percentage of the population, to act as your eyes and ears and sometimes brute force. And finally, you need anyone who might oppose you to be afraid to take action to defend themselves. You need them docile and passive.

There are a lot of moving parts to tyranny, and tanks and planes are secondary to basic manpower. And where there are troops and others enforcing tyranny, there are numerous targets. Where there are firearms, there is a means to eliminate a tyrant at the top of the pyramid with a single well placed bullet. Furthermore, you don’t need armored vehicles and stealth jets to fight tyranny; what you need is a good firearm to remove the people driving and flying those machines. A smart rebel might even take those weapons for his own arsenal in the process.

A lot of gun owners are also military veterans, and they have seen how things played out in places like Afghanistan, where all the military might in the world was ineffective against tribesman with old AK-47s and roadside IEDs. It’s about force of will along with minimal necessary firearms. Guerrilla wars are not fought in terms of battles, they are fought in terms of attrition. Americans understand this better than most.

For all these reasons and more the gun grabber ethos is essentially pointless. They can have total dominance in the federal government, they could have every state government on their side and pass hundreds of laws and executive orders making every gun owner a criminal, and it still would not matter. We will not budge, we would rather fight.

Elitists and leftists just don’t seem to get it. Maybe it’s the way their brains work. Maybe they just can’t comprehend the idea that some people will not compromise certain freedoms no matter the cost. They think everyone has a limit; that everyone has a price. They think anyone can be bought, or that anyone can be leveraged into submission. The truth is, many of us can’t. Some of us have no price, and we cannot be compelled to comply.

We are the people that keep freedom alive, and totalitarians are terrified of us; gun grabbing is merely a natural extension of their fear and doubt. Wherever an oligarchy is seeking to disarm the population this is a sure sign they are about to grasp for even more control, and they are afraid that the population might dethrone them. And honestly, they should be afraid.

The Coming Drought in the USA.

Here is the LINK to my 'New Blog' ---Tom's Logic Journal    ----->

Here is the LINK to my new Blog:


Dear Friends and Gentle Readers,
     As many of you know, I always like to be on the "know," planned ahead, prepared, and ready for anything that comes down the pike.  I like sharing good stuff, and true warnings to my friends, although convincing relatives is ALWAYS hard... LOL.   😁   I have posted the LINK about a drought to come shortly in the West but also in other places like even Wisconsin and Michigan !!  So.... as my old Agriculture high school teacher used to say:   'A word to the wise should be sufficient.'   And other folks say:  To carry a dull knife is just plain STUPID!  And, the Army helps it's people to REMEMBER all important things--- that will save their lives and those of their fellow soldiers.

https://youtu.be/lktloW6sW3I 

Now,  unless we are rich, most of us cannot afford to get and keep EVERYTHING to be completely prepared for everything that comes down the pike,  but surely a person can make a list on paper of all the simple, less expensive things that are needed, like flashlights, batteries, food, water, sharp knives and  weapons, IMHO.  But let's think for a minute...  what good is all of that if we are not organized to find those things in a heart beat, and/ or keep them out of the 'wrong hands ?'  OK, then explain it and enforce it !   You just might have to lock things up so you know for sure where they are and how to get to them in an emergency.   Teach your varmints to put things back where they got them---- right away!  Hey, a little discipline never hurt any child, and he/ she will succeed in life with less pain and trouble.   Reading the KJV Bible will also help those who read and study it, too.  Our God is a God of Order and Harmony.

JESUS:   Better to know Him ---before  you meet Him.

It's also better to know a girl for a while before you hook up and marry them.   Is that person a hard working, smart lady, but also "coachable" whom you can talk to and reason with?   That certainly goes for the man, too.  Always look at a person's 'track record' instead of just listening to his 'dreams' and desires.  He may 'talk the talk,'  but is he willing to 'walk the walk ?'   Personally, I worked at many places in my life...  but I also put in over 30.5 long years in service with a good work record at Daimler-Chrysler, in Kenosha, WI., and retired with full benefits at age 54 !   I also have a good Military record, but finally got into college a little later in life, and learned so much!  OK, I didn't mean to brag so much tonight.

I want to share a heart breaking story that happened today.  My dear wife, Loretta, asked me if I would like some great tasting Mexican food from a very fine restaurant near by, about 10 miles away from where we live, but she loves her Chinese food, so everything is a treat on her.   After she got home and we are eating that super fine hot food, I slipped and spilled half of it on my lap and the floor!  I was so pissed off at myself [and no one else, of course] for wasting precious food that was meant to be s special treat!!   I was so sorry but Lori knew that it was an accident and was very forgiving and felt sorry for me.   Well, that episode kind of messed up the rest of MY day, and I just thought I should record and mention it to show how grown adults can also have clumsy accidents.   That stuff was so hot and actually burned me in a few places... Ha!

I hope that your night and morning will go well with you and your families.  My good advice tonight is to, Pray, and Prepare.

And here, below is a picture of my dear, [passed] son, Andy, dancing with my dog at my old house in Union Grove, Wisconsin.  I miss them both but I hope to see Andy again in a different place where people are always happy. blessed, and full of JOY !    A place where godless, stupid, lazy beings do not riot, loot, burn and kill when they don't get their way.... and the Gov't lets them get away with it !  I am now age 72, so I am preparing for the next life in a different Place.  Wife, Lori and I study and just read the KJV Bible together quite often for a half hour or so, and she continues to tell me that she LIKES IT !  I try to make the Bible "come live" and interesting as we stop to explain different issues, etc.   And we still have lots of time to watch TV and work outside, etc.   


Warm Regards,

Peppermint Oil Boosts Health.

Tom's Journal. http://tomschuckmanjournal.blogspot.com/ tschuckman@aol.com

Here is the LINK to my 'New Blog' ---Tom's Logic Journal    ----->

Here is the LINK to my new Blog:



Hello Dear Friends, and Readers, all over the world,

I am happy today to share the power of Healing Herbs with you this sunny morning!   Some of the things listed  that I didn't even know until today... and that's kind of rare.  Men can be 'vain' too with regards to hair loss, even though I have attained 72 years of life, which is LONG for my family line,  IMHO.  Not that I am looking to die too soon, but I look at every single day as a special gift from Father God!  

 And the longer I live --- the better off my wife, Lori will be financially, economically,  and emotionally, and that's the way we look at things.   I so love her companionship these Winter days as we have LEARNED to tolerate each others' idiosyncrasies and varied habits/ cultures...  Ha!   Not that it matters too much, but my pretty wife is about half Polish and half German, so we share some common ground in many areas.    Actually, my Mother's father was born and raised [in Croatia --- just South of Austria] not too far from where the good President Trump's beautiful wife, Melania, came from!  Too bad the stinking, jealous Dims and godless Leftists [sic] felt that they needed to throw so many lying/ made up lies and malicious  dirt at her!  Grrrrrrr !   Why can't people just GET ALONG ??  And... 'People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones !'
     But as I was saying, why lose your hair if there are simple ways to keep it longer, and so ever since I got home from the Army in 1970  [and because of that Org., I learned to never trust 'doctors' too much, as too many of them lied to me, too often, sorry, and to NEVER  volunteer!].  Now, of course there are millions of guys in the world who look HANDSOME IF THEY ARE BALD, or not!  But I know that ladies do NOT want to lose their hair.  Period !  
       I started absorbing every book, paper, and computer coverage of natural Herbs to heal myself.   Please allow me to expand upon that idea.... that 100 years ago in the USA doctors were more apt to treat patients with Herbal remedies rather than [Big Greedy Pharma] DRUGS, with many side effects!  Let that just sink in for a while, please.  Actually from back then most of our Modern Medicine ---about 60% came from natural Herbs!  
      So.... just imagine for a moment, that for some reason the big trucks stopped rolling and the delivery of precious, life-saving medicines could not get to the hospitals and Pharmacies.   What a horrible disaster and loss of life we would have all over the world!   Well, just look at what Joe Biden just did yesterday.... he banned all travel to MANY other nations and territories all over the world, because of the Covid-19 --China virus !   So I think that proves my point.
     Friends,  I sure don't know everything, poor old sinner man that I am,  but in the space of 50 long years I have gained a lot of insight, Military insight and knowledge, experience, know how, intellect, Faith and Love in my Lord Jesus Christ, and healing Herbs.   So, if you breeze thru some of my past blog posts, you will see a good number of Herbal suggestions and strategies.  

I hope that all of my readers grow in knowledge, wisdom, Faith, and Love!

JESUS:   "It's better to KNOW Him --- before you meet Him."

Sincerely,
Thomas G Schuckman

I welcome any, and all of your polite comments no matter what they are.  Smile. 


BTW,   I am searching for a Rottweiler, trained, male dog, for companionship on lonely days --- actually every day.  They are so loving and healthy, loyal and protective, IMHO !  My Email:  tschuckman@aol.com   I am also on Face Book, sometimes, in the Market place area, where I hook up, cheer up other combat Veterans like myself, who might need assistance, and help of some kind, fellowship, or just a listening ear, someone to just talk to who has "walked the walk," and knowledge of what the VA and Gov't don't want you to know....   Ha!   I served in Germany for 6 months, and 2-- years in Vietnam as a Helicopter 'door gunner' in Huey's, in the 3rd Corp area, etc.   I used to be into woodworking, carpentry, welding, throwing tomahawks [accurately] and knives, play chess, love good movies and the USA !


23 Peppermint Oil Uses to Naturally Boost Your Health

Today’s blog is republished from my friends at Paleohacks, a leading publisher of daily alternative health tips that I personally read every day…

By: Megan Patiry

Peppermint oil has been used for thousands of years across ancient Greece, Egypt, and Rome for its medicinal properties (1).

Now that research on peppermint if is well established, there has been a resurgence of its popularity in treating a variety of issues many of us experience every day.

Peppermint oil is an extremely versatile oil that offers countless benefits. Its main component, menthol, has been widely studied and found to help with the following issues:

  • Digestion
  • Bacterial infection
  • Inflammation
  • Fatigue
  • Muscle soreness
  • Congestion
  • Allergies
  • Headaches
  • Bad breath

There are many other ways you can use peppermint oil, including using it as a natural bug repellent or as an easy way to freshen your breath (hello, DIY mints). Read on to discover the ways to use it to boost your health and lifestyle!

23 Natural Peppermint Oil Uses and Benefits

1. Boost Energy

Instead of reaching for energy drinks whenever you need a boost, give peppermint oil a try. Studies have shown it improves physical and mental energy levels and performance just five minutes after ingesting it (2).

To use: Inhale the scent of peppermint directly for a boost of energy and clarity, or put a few drops in your favorite diffuser to inhale the vapors throughout your day. Internally, add one drop to a large glass of water (yes, a little goes a long way!) and drink.

2. Get Rid of Dandruff

Peppermint oil possesses antifungal and antimicrobial properties that make it excellent for combating dandruff (3).

To use: Add 2 drops to your regular shampoo and concentrate on massaging your scalp as you shower.

3. Relieve Muscle Pain

Menthol, one of the main compounds in peppermint, has significant anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and painkilling effects. Studies have shown it can help reduce muscle soreness and lower inflammation, while also raising your pain threshold (4).

To use: Combine 1/4 cup coconut oil with 5 drops of peppermint oil, then rub on sore muscles.

4. Soothe Joint Pain

The anti-inflammatory and painkilling effects of menthol in peppermint can also be used to relieve joint pain when applied topically (5).

To use: Add 2 drops of peppermint oil to a small dollop of olive or coconut oil, rub together in your hands, then rub on sore joints.

5. Curb Cravings

Many people swear by peppermint oil as a natural way to ease cravings by reducing appetite and helping you feel fuller faster.

To use: Place a few drops in a diffuser before mealtimes, or dilute a couple drops in a carrier oil like olive oil and rub it on your chest.

6. Reduce Allergies

Peppermint oil is also great for allergy symptoms such as drainage and coughing due to its ability to help expel mucus and phlegm (6).

To use: Diffuse the oil in a diffuser along with eucalyptus in your home to reduce allergy symptoms throughout the ‘day and night.

7. Cool Rashes + Itching

Studies have shown that peppermint oil’s cooling and anti-inflammatory properties can help soothe minor itches, from bug bites to poison ivy (7).

To use: Dilute 2 drops of peppermint oil in olive oil and rub on the affected area.

8. Repel Bugs

Essential oils have been utilized for thousands of years as natural insect repellents. Many of the volatile compounds in oils (such as peppermint) are overwhelming to insects like mosquitoes, making them the perfect natural option to keep bugs at bay.

To use: To repel pests from your body (like mosquitoes), dilute several drops in a carrier oil and rub all over exposed areas of your body. To repel bugs in your home, add peppermint oil to your floor cleaner or countertop cleaner.

9. Calm Acne

Peppermint oil contains several antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which help reduce the amount of bacteria on your skin (8). Not to mention, the cooling menthol will also help to reduce inflammation from painful cystic acne.

To use: Mix a drop of peppermint oil with jojoba oil and dab on the affected area twice a day.

10. Relieve Headaches

Research shows that peppermint oil has a significant relaxing and pain-reducing effect on headaches. In one study, peppermint oil reduced sensitivity associated with headaches (9).

To use: Mix 2 drops of peppermint oil in a carrier oil and rub on your temples. If your headache feels more like a tension headache coming from your neck area, massage the oil on your shoulders and neck.

11. Promote Hair Growth

Studies show that massaging peppermint oil into your scalp can help promote hair growth and encourage hair to become thicker, even without participants changing their diets (10).

To use: Add a few drops of peppermint oil to your favorite shampoo and massage deeply into your scalp.

12. Relieve IBS + Bloating

Peppermint oil is one of the best natural treatments when it comes to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Researchers believe its ability to relax the gastrointestinal wall, as well as cool inflammation, play a role in its effectiveness (11). Studies also show peppermint oil has a significant effect on abdominal pain and distension, as well as gas (12).

To use: You can either take peppermint oil in capsule form (follow the dosage instructions on the bottle) or rub a few drops mixed in a carrier oil, like coconut oil or jojoba oil, on your abdomen.

13. Reduce Nausea

Peppermint oil may also be able to help quell bouts of nausea and vomiting. Studies on postoperative nausea show participants who were given peppermint oil experienced significantly lower levels of nausea (13).

To use: Take one or two capsules at the onset of symptoms.

14. Freshen Breath

Peppermint is an ingredient in many toothpastes and mouthwashes, and for good reason. Not only does peppermint smell wonderful, but it also has potent antibacterial properties that help freshen breath (14).

To use: Look for a toothpaste with pure peppermint oil as a main ingredient, or make your own breath spray by combining a couple drops with a cup of water in a spray bottle. You can even make your own homemade breath mints using peppermint and coconut oil!

15. Kill Toenail Fungus

Peppermint oil’s antimicrobial properties make it excellent for combating toenail fungus (15).

To use: Apply 4-5 drops directly on discolored nails daily.

16. Combat Bacterial Infections

Studies have shown peppermint oil to be effective against up to 22 strains of bacteria and fungi, making it an excellent choice to help fight infections (16).

To use: Follow the dosage recommendations on your peppermint oil in capsule form.

17. Help Fight Cancer

It turns out that the compound menthol present in peppermint oil can also inhibit cancer growth. Studies have shown it causes cancer cell death while also helping protect against radiation damage from chemotherapy (17).

18. Relieve Stress

Peppermint oil is popular in aromatherapy for its relaxing and refreshing effects. Studies show that it can be an effective treatment against nerve disorders and mental fatigue, making it an excellent option to help relieve excess stress (18).

To use: Inhale the scent of peppermint for a boost of energy and clarity, or put a few drops in your favorite diffuser to inhale the vapors throughout the day.

19. Boost Exercise Performance

Researchers have found that athletes supplementing with peppermint oil were able to significantly increase exercise performance parameters, including improving breathing capacity and increasing oxygen levels (19).

To use: Add 1-2 drops of peppermint oil to a large glass of water daily.

20. Soothe a Sore Throat

Menthol’s cooling properties can help soothe a painful and inflamed sore throat, while also combating any infection that may have caused it (20).

To use: Either gargle a mix of 2 drops of peppermint oil in water, or add a few drops to a pot with water and deeply inhale the steam.

21. Clear a Stuffy Nose

Peppermint oil can help treat many cold symptoms, such as mucus congestion, due to its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties (21).

To use: Diffuse peppermint oil throughout your home when you have a cold to reduce bacteria in the air and help with a stuffy nose and congestion.

22. Relieve Sunburns

Peppermint oil’s cooling and anti-inflammatory properties also make it an excellent remedy for sunburn.

To use: Combine 2 drops of peppermint oil with a carrier oil (and even some aloe if you’d like) and rub on affected areas.

23. Sharpen Memory

Studies show that peppermint can help improve concentration and focus while also improving memory, making it a great option to help with the symptoms of ADHD (22).

To use: Dilute 2 drops in a carrier oil and rub on your chest before you start your day, or carry the oil with you and inhale it directly from the bottle when you need to focus.

As you can see, the uses of peppermint oil are virtually endless. With such a broad base of benefits, this is one oil you should have stocked in your kitchen at all times.
