This Peppermint Essential Oil is sourced from India and extracted from the flowering herb, Mentha Piperita, using steam distillation. It has been historically known to be beneficial for various ailments, such as asthma, fever, and chest congestion, and can also provide mental stimulation and relief from mental fatigue and depression. Its high menthol content makes it great for treating skin conditions, including sunburn and itching, and can even keep away insects when used in an oil burner. Though native to the Mediterranean, peppermint is also grown in other parts of Europe, America, and Asia, and has been used since ancient times by civilizations such as Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and Japan. According to legend, a nymph named Mentha was transformed into a mint plant by her lover's angry wife, Persephone. Peppermint was also a popular choice for crowning festivities in Greek and Roman culture, as noted by Pliny. As a precautionary measure, always dilute essential oils.

Prior to full use, always dilute and perform a skin patch test to detect potential allergic reactions.
