Is it dangerous to apply peppermint oil directly on the skin? I am afraid I might pass out.

[Xangsane]

I was reading Reddit and people are saying that it's dangerous to put undiluted peppermint oil on the hair and lips, so I had to brush my teeth again and slather coconut oil (as a carrier oil) on my lips and hair.

I'm so scared I'll pass out.

I wanted to see if I could get crazy hair so I put pure peppermint oil all over my scalp. Tried some on my brows too for fun. I also put peppermint oil on my lips, then applied coconut oil, then smothered pure Castor oil on my face. I also covered my entire body with coconut oil mixed with Castor oil, but with more coconut oil. My eyes water a little and my lips sting but are even fuller than usual.

Mum marched into my room and ordered me to sleep with a shower cap because of the smell and the fact I was messing up the pillow and duvet. She wouldn't move until I found a plastic shower cap and put it on (all while I was naked because I sleep naked during summer).

I slathered my skin and hair with coconut oil an hour after applying the undiluted peppermint oil. Now I'm scared I'm gonna get poisoned by inhaling peppermint oil. I might have even swallowed a smidge since I put some on my lips too (mixed with coconut oil).

I put Castor oil first, then I plopped the peppermint oil all over my hair. I don't have rosemary.

U need to mix them and then apply, not apply a bit of castor oil, then a bit of peppermint oil!And I suggest u to buy rosemary oil because it can be as effective as 2% minoxidil!
