The last time I used a CBD oil with peppermint flavouring, I found it so overwhelmingly strong that I gave it away to my dad (who is well and truly besotted with CBD too) because I couldn't stand the taste of it. Granted, I prefer citrus based flavours but last time I checked CBD oil shouldn't make your mouth feel like it's numb as a result of the flavouring.

Despite this negative experience, I wanted to try 7 Leaf Health's with an open mind and I'm glad that I did. For my fellow Brits, this CBD oil smells and tastes exactly like Murray mints. For those of you who have no idea what Murray mints are, you might know them as butter mints and they're bloody delicious. This oil is minty enough to remove the hemp taste but not too minty that it felt like you're eating toothpaste, which in my opinion is a good thing.

7 Leaf Health's CBD oil is 100% THC free, as well as pesticide, herbicide and GMO free too, so no nasties! I tried this oil in the 500mg strength but it is also available in 1000mg and 1500mg strengths in both the natural and peppermint variants. Each drop of the 500mg strength contains 2mg and I found that my body responded to it best when I spread the dosage out throughout the day rather than taking it all at once. Overall, I had 10mg (5 drops) of this oil, three times a day. On one particularly bad day I took the maximum recommended amount of 40mg (20 drops) and that was enough to eradicate my pain.

I used this oil during a period where I was suffering with an extremely sensitive sciatic nerve as well as ongoing bloating. The addition of peppermint definitely reduced the pain and severity of my endo belly and certainly gives it an advantage over natural or fruit flavoured CBD oils. Furthermore, when using this oil I was able to get through my working day without needing to use a hot water bottle, muscle rub or over the counter painkillers to help with my nerve pain. If I were to use this oil again, I would definitely buy it in one of the higher strengths but that's just my personal preference!

7 Leaf Health 500mg Peppermint CBD Oil is £29.99 for 10ml.
