Peppermint Organic Essential Oil

Our organic Peppermint Essential Oil is steam distilled from crisp, green leaves of the fragrant Mentha piperita plant cultivated in the countryside of India. Peppermint Essential Oil has the aroma of the live plant - wonderfully fresh, cool, green-herbaceous, strongly minty with a powerful menthol undertone - that can be used for both aromatherapy and natural perfumery.

The main constituent of peppermint is Menthol, a potent compound which unto itself causes a quick physical response when inhaled or applied the skin. It produces a sensation of coolness which the body counteracts by increasing blood flow to the area of application, producing a warming effect. With its beautiful, fresh, intense minty aroma, Peppermint Oil offers numerous applications within beauty, cosmetic, aromatherapy and soapmaking applications.

Each and every batch of Amala essential oils is tested by an independent international laboratory before being sent to us. A Certificate of Analysis is issued, stating the purity of the oil.

 
REPORTED BENEFITS AND USES

AROMATHERAPY

Peppermint Oil is revered for its many therapeutic properties and when diffused and inhaled has been seen to ease headaches, migraines, and sinus congestion as well as common cold and flu symptoms. It is often used in conjunction with Lavender Oil to relieve upset skin due to bug bites or after spending too much time in the sun. This combination is also very powerful for hay fever. Peppermint also helps alleviate occasional stomach upset, promotes healthy respiratory function and can even help with allergy relief.

Peppermint Oil makes it an effective repellent for insects, spiders, wasps, bees, mosquitoes, mice and other household rodents. Please do not place it where cats are likely to inhale or ingest though, as it can be toxic to them.

SAFETY

Keep out of reach of children. If pregnant or under a doctor’s care, consult a physician. Avoid contact with eyes.

Do not use internally unless instructed by a licensed aromatherapist or physician. Essential oils are highly concentrated and powerful oils and can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise required - for this reason, ingestion of essential oils is NOT recommended.

We do not recommend using essential oils on pets, unless under the care of a veterinarian or aromatherapist.
