Botanical Name: Mentha piperita Botanical Family: Lamiaceae (Labiatae)
· Extraction Method: Steam Distillation
· Part Used: Flowering Herb
· Aroma Note: Top
Peppermint is a natural hybrid of Watermint and Spearmint. While mint has been used for thousands of years, the specific piperita variety was only categorized in the late 17th century. It is one of the most chemically "intense" oils in aromatherapy due to its high menthol content, which produces a famous "cooling" sensation on the skin followed by a warming effect. It is the ultimate "pick-me-up" oil—sharp, piercing, and instantly refreshing.
Analgesic, Anti-inflammatory, Antiseptic, Antispasmodic, Antiviral, Carminative, Cephalic, Cholagogue, Cordial, Expectorant, Febrifuge, Hepatic, Nervine, Stimulant, Stomachic, Sudorific, Vasoconstrictor, Vermifuge.
· Skin: Relieves itching (pruritus), ringworm, and scabies. It provides a cooling relief for sunburn when used in extremely low dilutions.
· Respiratory: Asthma, bronchitis, sinusitis, and spasmodic coughs. It is a powerful decongestant that "shocks" the sinuses open.
· Digestive: The premier oil for the gut. It is used for colic, dyspepsia, flatulence, bloating, and nausea (including travel sickness). It helps relax the smooth muscles of the digestive tract.
· Circulatory/Muscular: Muscular aches, neuralgia, and palpitations. It is highly effective for tension headaches.
· Nervous System: Mental fatigue, "brain fog," and fainting. It is a potent brain stimulant that increases alertness.
Peppermint is the "Oil of a Buoyant Heart." It brings a sense of "joyous relief" to those who feel weighed down by heavy emotions or mental exhaustion. It helps individuals "breathe again" when they feel smothered by life's circumstances. It provides the mental strength to face reality and move through emotional challenges with a renewed sense of vigor.
1. The "Instant Focus" Inhalation: When you feel a midday energy slump, put 1 drop of Peppermint and 1 drop of Lemon on a tissue and inhale deeply. It’s like a "cold shower" for the brain.
2. Soothing Temple Rub: Mix 1 drop of Peppermint in 1 teaspoon of carrier oil and massage into the temples (keeping far away from the eyes) to ease a tension headache.
3. Cooling Foot Spray: Mix 10 drops of Peppermint with 50ml of water in a spray bottle. Spritz on tired, hot feet after a long day of walking for instant revitalization.
The "Digestive Ease" Blend Massage clockwise onto the abdomen for bloating or discomfort

Basil, Benzoin, Cedarwood, Cypress, Eucalyptus, Geranium, Grapefruit, Juniper Berry, Lavender, Lemon, Marjoram, Niaouli, Pine, Rosemary, and Tea Tree.
Use in low dilutions (under 1-2%). Peppermint is very potent and can irritate sensitive skin. Avoid during pregnancy and while breastfeeding (it may discourage milk production). Do not use on children under the age of 6, as the menthol can cause breathing difficulties in toddlers. Keep away from the eyes and mucous membranes. It may interfere with homeopathic treatments.
Available sizes: 13ml
