Peppermint Essential Oil - 100% pure essential oil (mentha piperita)

Originated From: USA

Size: 10ml

Description: The Mentha piperita plant is actually a hybrid of Watermint and Spearmint, and was first described by Carl Linneaus, in 1753. Peppermint oil was used by the ancient Egyptians and Romans, as well as many other groups, throughout history.

Today, it is very widely used in foods, candies, gums, dental products and cosmetics.

In fact, it may well be one of the most readily recognizable scents and flavors. The oil is distilled from the whole Mentha piperita plant, and yields an oil with a minty, hot, herbaceous aroma, high in chemical compound menthol. This high menthol content, found in this peppermint essential oil, distinguishes the best quality peppermint from other products.

Uses for Peppermint Essential Oil: Use a drop of Peppermint, with Lemon, in water, for a healthy, refreshing mouth rinse. Rub on the stomach, or take internally, for occasional digestive discomfort. How to use: Peppermint oil is intended for aromatic, topical or dietary use. Dilution is recommended for sensitive skin.

Diffusion: Use 3-4 drops in the diffuser of your choice.

Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilution with carrier oil is recommended, especially for those with sensitive skin, to minimize any possible skin sensitivity. See additional precautions below.
