Gingerly Snapped’s large variety of products are made with essential oils rather than perfumes or artificial fragrances. This isn’t only because essential oils are friendlier to those with allergies (though that is a huge factor!) but also because most essential oils have beneficial properties. Although no one should replace their prescribed medications with essential oils, incorporating them into your daily routine with your skin care products can be a great boost towards meeting your body’s needs.
Let’s look at peppermint essential oil as an example. A personal favorite, this oil can benefit one mentally as well as physically. Peppermint essential oil is known to reduce stress and improve mental function. It’s also antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and a decongestant, making it an ideal choice for cold season and allergy season alike. When the scent of peppermint essential oil is inhaled, it can shrink swollen membranes in the nose and airways which make it easier to breathe.
