Peppermint - 100% Natural Peppermint Essential Oil 10ml

Peppermint oil (Mentha piperita) 10ml

Our organically created peppermint essential oil is distilled from the crisp, deliciously green leaves of the fragrant Mentha x piperita plant grown in the rich green fields of the US landscape.

Peppermint essential oil has the scent of a living plant - a wonderfully fresh, cool, herbal, strongly minty scent that can be used for aromatherapy as well as in natural perfumery.

True peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is considered a hybrid from two other species of Mentha: Watermint (Mentha aquatica) and Spearmint (Mentha spicata) and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. The high menthol content - as in our peppermint oil - distinguishes the finest quality peppermint from other products.

The main ingredient in peppermint is menthol, a powerful compound that itself causes a rapid physical reaction when inhaled or applied to the skin.

It produces a cold sensation, which the body counteracts by increasing blood flow to the area of application, thus producing a warming effect. Menthol is used in candies, breath fresheners, and beverages, but it is also used as a cooling agent in popular muscle and joint preparations.

BENEFITS OF USING THE OIL

With its fresh and intense minty aroma, peppermint essential oil offers a variety of applications in cosmetic, aromatherapy and soap applications.

It is used to relieve skin agitation due to insect bites or after too much time in the sun.

Peppermint essential oil is also revered for its many therapeutic properties and is useful in reducing unwanted bacteria and viruses, as well as reducing pain and inflammation.

Peppermint, which is often used in dental care due to its potent and refreshing properties, also helps relieve occasional upset stomachs, promotes healthy respiratory function, and can even help with allergies. It's also great to add to your hair care routine as it nourishes and balances dull, oily scalp.

Peppermint essential oil is a refreshing and invigorating oil that both calms and refreshes. Peppermint's cool and cleansing nature makes it ideal for stimulating mental agility and improving concentration for the tasks at hand. Peppermint essential oil awakens and refreshes the senses, often helping to promote self-confidence and stimulate new ideas and creativity.
