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:
