Peppermint Essential OilRefreshing, Purifying & Nature’s Cooling Remedy



In ancient Greece, Peppermint was believed to cure hiccups. While this may still ring true, modern Peppermint Essential Oil holds a host of powerful benefits. This Essential Oil is obtained through steam distillation of the leaves of the Peppermint plant (a hybrid of spearmint and water mint). Peppermint Essential Oil is well known for its ability to freshen, clean, calm, and cool – making it the perfect Essential Oil to use in your kitchen, around the home and office, and on your body. Peppermint Essential Oil’s Health Benefits: Through the ages, Peppermint Essential Oil has proven to offer innumerable health benefits. Some of these include:

  • A soothing effect for itchy bites and stings, due to its menthol properties

  • These same properties make Peppermint Essential Oil a great addition to muscle soaks and rubs, relieving tension, aches, and pains

  • Peppermint Oil is an excellent remedy for settling the stomach – from calming Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and heart burn, to preventing flatulence, alleviating nausea, and relieving morning sickness

  • Peppermint has also proven effective in easing headaches, sinus congestion, and coughing

Refreshing Flavour and Fragrance: Peppermint Essential Oil’s unique, refreshing flavour and aroma make it a win, both in the kitchen and beauty products –

  • It is frequently used in aromatherapy

  • Peppermint Oil can be added to soaps and lotions for a refreshing scent and a calming effect

  • With its minty flavour, it is used in mouth freshening products, such as mouthwash, toothpaste, and mints

We have a spearmint/mint fragrance oil that is great for flavouring and cleaning teeth as well as shower steamers.
