Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha Arvensis)

15ml Peppermint Essential Oil (Mentha Arvensis)

Our Australian Peppermint Essential Oil is extracted from the Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) plant grown in Australia. The leaves are steam distilled to produce a clear-to-yellow oil naturally rich in menthol, and, like all Peppermint Essential Oils, is widely known for its pleasantly refreshing, crisp and sweet aroma and powerful ability to support a healthy body and mind.

In comparison to the cool aroma of our Mentha Arvensis peppermint variety and sweeter ‘candy cane’ aroma of the Mentha Piperita variety, Peppermint Australian carries a more subtle sweet-minty scent with hints of a herbacous yet floral undertone. Behind the scent lies natural properties said to fight colds, bacteria, inflammation and mental fatigue effectively.

The wide-ranging versatile benefits of Peppermint Essential Oil make it a popular oil that is helpful across almost all aspects of life, from therapeutic uses to household applications.

• Peppermint Oil is commonly used for its decongesting properties, with a natural menthol content that helps relieve symptoms of headaches, migraines, hay fever, colds, flu and blocked sinuses.
• The antiseptic properties of Peppermint Essential Oil fight vigilantly against bacteria and viruses, helping to reduce inflammation, muscle pain and swelling.
• Peppermint Oil is said to work wonders for the mind, lifting the mood and calming tempers while instilling focus in people with mental fatigue.
