It has been pretty hot in sunny Southern California and I’ve been playing with the aroma spray to cool down.
I knew the peppermint oil has the cooling effect. According to my aroma expert friend it doesn’t actually lower the temperature but it gives your brain the sensation of coolness on your skin.
So I bought this organic body mist with peppermint oil on Amazon only because I wanted something fast and I was too lazy to research and create my own from scratch.
This does help to cool down but I wanted some more cooling effect so I created my own by blending this and my own organic peppermint oil. This makes it feel much cooler or I should say it prolongs the cooling effect after you spray the mist on your body.
Peppermint oil is a stimulant so if you use it at night it will probably wake you up. But I have no problem sleeping so I’ve been using the little coolness during the hot summer nights because I don’t like to sleep with the AC on.
I’m also playing with adding some organic lavender oil and eucalyptus oil. I don’t have it with me but I know that spearmint oil also has the cooling effect.
I hope this is helpful in possibly creating your own aroma spray to cool down.
