Peppermint Mentha piperita (2080)
With its strong, fresh, menthol-rich aroma, Peppermint is known to everyone. It is invigorating, and, interestingly, has a cooling then warming quality. Peppermint is a powerful support for the digestive system, eases nausea, and can be helpful in cases of motion sickness. In a massage oil, it relieves joint and muscle discomfort, and is useful for menstrual cramps. Put a drop on your temples and the back of your neck if you get a headache. Add it to your favorite lotion for the ultimate foot rub. Peppermint refreshes a tired mind. Make this a must for sports blends or for rubbing on tired feet.
This is a pure therapeutic-quality aromatherapy essential oil from India, and is obtained from the whole plant.
