100% Peppermint Essential Oil (INCI: Mentha Arvensis Oil) Peppermint oil is extracted from the fresh or semi-dried leaves and flowers of the herb. The plant is cultivated in Britain, America, Europe and China, but grows worldwide. Mint was prizes in Japan and China for centuries and has been found in Egyptian tombs dating back to 1000 BC. Traditionally, people drank it as a tea or chewed the leaves to cure 'complaints of the stomach or nerves'. The essential oil is nearly one third menthol, which is why it invigorates, clears the head, stimulates and is soothing, refreshing and cooling. In aromatherapy, it is excellent for headaches , mental fatigue, muscular pain, varicose veins, sunburn, insect bites, nausea, PMT, or menopausal hot flushes. A few drops on a tissue can clear your head , whether your suffering from a cold or mental fatigue, and relieve headaches or any nausea, from travel to morning sickness. Four drops in a basin will refresh tired feet. Use sparingly for massage or in the bath. WARNING: Mint essential oil is very potent , so never apply undiluted to skin, or just before going to sleep.
