Peppermint was widely used by the ancient Greeks and Romans, and may have been cultivated by the Egyptians. The term "mint" is from the Greek Mintha, a mythological nymph transformed into a plant by the goddess Persephone after she learned of her husband Pluto's love for her. This oil is 100% pure.
Peppermint has a powerful, sweet, menthol aroma which, when inhaled undiluted, can make the eyes water and the sinuses tingle. Topically, peppermint oil can be applied to the temples to reduce headaches, and stress. Also useful to relieve pain and inflammation of muscle cramps. Combine peppermint, lavender and a skin care oil for a soothing stomach-massage oil.
