Hey friend,
You know I’m all about simple, natural things that actually work—and peppermint oil totally delivers. If you’ve got a fitness goal (or just want to feel strong and energized in your body), this little bottle might be your new best workout buddy.
Peppermint Oil and Athletic Performance: What the Science Says
Here’s where it gets exciting…
Researchers found that athletes who inhaled peppermint essential oil before exercise experienced some pretty amazing results:
- ✅ Squeezed out one more pushup (the one that makes you feel like a boss 💁♀️)
- ✅ Shaved 2 seconds off a quarter-mile run
- ✅ Felt more motivated overall
✨ The science-y folks explain that peppermint oil works by:
- Relaxing airway muscles (hello, easier breathing!)
- Boosting oxygen flow to the brain (better focus + endurance)
- Lowering blood lactate (aka: less burn, more go)
Peppermint Oil Reduces Fatigue and Frustration
We all know the mental side of working out can be just as tough as the physical side.
➡️ In one study, college athletes who inhaled peppermint on the treadmill reported feeling less tired and less frustrated.
And honestly—who doesn’t want that during a workout?
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Stronger, Longer, Better
Another group of athletes saw their performance stats skyrocket after using peppermint oil:
- 💪 50% harder effort
- ⚡ 20% more power
- ⏱️ 25% longer endurance
Yes, please! 🙌
That’s why I call peppermint my pre-workout without the sketchy ingredients. It gives me the kick I need—naturally.
How to Use Peppermint Oil for Energy
Here’s the best part: you probably already have a bottle in your cabinet. If not, grab one [here].
Ways to try it before a workout:
- Inhale straight from the bottle.
- Add a drop to your palms, rub, and breathe deeply.

- Put a drop in water (Young Living peppermint is food-grade!) for a refreshing boost.
