Benefits & How To Use

Peppermint Mentha piperita (2080)

With its strong, fresh, menthol-rich aroma, Peppermint is known to everyone. It is invigorating, and, interestingly, has a cooling then warming quality. Peppermint is a powerful support for the digestive system and is a perfect choice for a long journey. In a massage oil, it relieves joint and muscle discomfort caused by overwork, and is useful for abdominal massage. Put a drop on your temples and the back of your neck to ease tension. Add it to your favorite lotion for the ultimate foot rub. Peppermint refreshes a tired mind. Make this a must for sports blends or for rubbing on tired feet.

This is a pure therapeutic-quality aromatherapy essential oil from India, and is obtained from the Leaves/Stems.

Help me choose: Peppermint Organic and Peppermint Mitcham (which has a softer aromatic quality) are also available.
