Peppermint is a fun holiday treat but also a powerful grounding tool. Peppermint activates both your sense of smell and taste. This can pull your mind out of anxiety, grief spirals, or overwhelm and back into the present moment.

When emotions feel big, the brain can get stuck in the past or future. Peppermint’s sharp, cooling sensation gives your nervous system something immediate to focus on. Here are different ways you can add peppermint to your day:

Candy Cane: This time of year, you can find them most places. Slowly unwrap it, notice the smell, then focus on the taste and cooling sensation as it dissolves.
Peppermint essential oil: Dab a little on your wrist or inhale from the bottle. Take 3 slow breaths.
Peppermint tea: Hold the warm mug, inhale the steam, and sip slowly.

As we go into the holidays, we want to talk about how grief can look during this season. If you’re experiencing these feelings, we can help. Check out our new blog.
“December is full of lights, colorful decor, family gatherings and being merry. But when you’re grieving, this season can feel painfully out of sync with your heart. While the world seems to be celebrating, you may be carrying loss, longing, and quiet sadness that feels invisible to everyone else.”
