as we say here “linement” . also insect repellent as I cannot use “OFF” ( used so much in the lowlands it makes me sick now) so been trying dryer sheets,Listerine, etc.
I was amazed at the decongestant effect of a few crumpled up leaves.
if it works as a snake repellent I'll mass grow it! no poisonous ones yet but still watching...

Yes, I use the essential of peppermint or spearmint for my pillow on the rough nights.
And for many other things, such as rubbing on the arthritis sore joints.
What you will be making, is not the essential oil, as that is a steam distilled product, but will still be useful and you will use it so often that you will be surprised.
It will even help dry hair, apply some while it is wet and the comb will fly through it.
I remain skeptical on the use of peppermint to keep snakes away, but who knows....
