PEPPERMINT – ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OIL FOOD GRADE

Peppermint has been known to humanity since antiquity. In his "Natural History," the Roman scholar Pliny the Elder wrote that the scent of mint enhances brain activity and provides sharpness and alertness to the mind. For this reason, Roman students wore wreaths of mint sprigs during their studies. Ancient Chinese healers used peppermint oil for gout and neuralgia, rubbing it on the affected areas for relief. In Japan, peppermint oil was an ancient remedy for migraines.

Peppermint essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the entire aerial part of the Mentha Piperita plant. The oil contains up to 45% menthol and 32% menthone, which provide its pleasant refreshing aroma and mild, long-lasting, slightly pungent taste. Peppermint oil possesses analgesic, anti-inflammatory, sedative, antispasmodic, and carminative properties. It stimulates gastrointestinal and biliary secretion, helping to reduce bloating, gas, and nausea. It lowers blood pressure and is applied for respiratory inflammation, bronchitis, colds, headaches, sinusitis, mental fatigue, shock, nervous tension, menstrual pain, skin inflammation, and insect stings. The oil is invigorating and stimulating, helping to reduce chronic fatigue and increase concentration. It has a pronounced deodorizing effect and freshens the breath.
