8. Hair Care
As it is able to stimulate the scalp, peppermint oil, when included in a shampoo or conditioner, is likely to spice up your morning cleansing routine by adding a gentle tingling sensation to the equation. The presence of peppermint oil wakes up sleepy hair follicles and sharpens up a tired mind, as it is massaged liberally to the scalp. The benefits are further reaching than this though, as peppermint oil has been proven to dramatically reduce dandruff and prevent hair loss.
It could even stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the furthest reaches of the scalp. It has outperformed caffeine-based shampoos and commercially available hair growth products in a number of clinical trials. There are plenty of other health benefits to be derived from the use of peppermint oil, and this list is just the tip of the iceberg, but it should give you something to be getting on with if nothing else.
