Fun Fact:
Your Hypothalamus is your internal thermostat when the body overheats. It evaporates through sweating and signals blood vessels closest to the skins surface to dilate. Applying menthol triggers your skin's cold receptors, tricking your brain into feeling a cooling sensation. I use this as a temp method when exercising in hot climates.
Dilution tip: As a spray, add 5-10 drops menthol oil (Peppermint/Eucalyptus) + 2tbsp Organic Witch Hazel into a glass spray bottle. You can also add in some Citronella, Grapefruit, Ylang Ylang to keep it interesting, adding in more Witch Hazel as needed. Warning: External use ONLY. Can cause burning if used incorrectly. Avoid spraying upper body and head to avoid skin irritation.
See you next Saturday at 8am for Hampton's Birthday sequence.
Namaste.
