Description

The peppermint plant is a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753.

A high menthol content—like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint essential oil—distinguishes the best quality Peppermint from other products.

Peppermint oil has been traditionally used in Aromatherapy to relieve cough, support mental function and help relieve the symptoms of mild tension headache.

In traditional Western herbal medicine, Peppermint oil has been taken orally to relieve abdominal discomfort, relieve nausea, relieve vomiting, relieve symptoms of sore throat, relieve mild throat inflammation and applied orally (directly to the mouth cavity) to relieve toothache.

Uses

  • Combine with Fractionated Coconut oil and massage into neck and shoulders to relieve feelings of tension. 
  • Add to cold water compress or foot bath to cool off when overheated.
  • Place one drop of Peppermint essential oil in the palm of hand with one drop Wild Orange oil and one drop of Frankincense oil and inhale for a mid-day pick-me-up.
