1. Relieving Digestive Discomfort

• Usage: Internal: Dilute 1 drop in water (ensure it's food-grade and use cautiously). Topical: Dilute and apply to the abdomen (mix with a carrier oil like coconut oil).

2. Boosting Mental Alertness

• Effect: The cooling aroma stimulates the brain, reducing fatigue and improving focus.
• Usage: Aromatherapy: Add 2-3 drops to a diffuser. Inhalation: Sniff directly or apply a diluted amount to temples.

3. Relieving Headaches
