Just a word to those of you who are nursing babies. Look at the Essential Oil bottle if you're using a blend and make sure that there is no peppermint in it, or if there is use the blend sparingly. Peppermint oil will dry you up! I had a bit of a sore stomach (ate waayyyy too much homemade chocolate yumm) so I've been putting a GREAT digestion blend in my water. It worked like a charm, except it has peppermint oil in it, which is awesome, but I'm nursing a three month old and after 2 days of putting 1drop in my water I noticed I wasn't letting down and my baby was getting a little frustrated while nursing. So, I won't be using that unless it's an emergency and/or until I've stopped nursing.
Oil UP it works!!!
ps if you've stopped nursing and are experiencing engorgment grab that peppermint bottle and apply directly to the breasts and put one drop in a glass of water several times a day until the symptoms let up or you dry up completely.
