A traditional nervine and digestive aid, Peppermint has a strong cooling effect that provides relief to aching muscles and a lift to tired legs and feet. A few pure drops neat or in a blend will enhance reflexology treatments. Also, a few drops on a tissue will lend immediate relief to sinus congestion and common headaches. Be cautious when using Peppermint with water treatments, such as compresses, steams, or baths, because it may cause an uncomfortable chill.

To reduce or eliminate Peppermint’s naturally pungent aroma, the flavor & fragrance industry alters it for its own purposes by manipulating Peppermint’s chemical constituents or otherwise by diluting it with other oils. We offer only pure, complete, and natural Peppermint oil.
