Description & Uses

Peppermint is one of the world's most familiar aromatic herbs, yet its essential oil delivers a remarkably concentrated expression of the plant. Steam distilled from the aerial portions of Mentha piperita, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil has a powerful mint aroma accompanied by an immediate cooling sensory experience.

In aromatherapy, Peppermint is prized for its bright, stimulating character. Its crisp aroma makes it particularly well suited to mornings, workspaces, study sessions, and other moments when you want to create an environment that feels refreshed and energized.

Peppermint is also a favorite for travel. A personal aromatherapy inhaler or car diffuser containing Peppermint can provide a refreshing aromatic experience during long drives or tiring days away from home.

During seasonal changes, Peppermint is commonly paired with Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Frankincense, or Lavender in diffuser and inhaler blends for a crisp, open-feeling aromatic experience.

When properly diluted, Peppermint's naturally cooling character makes it an excellent addition to massage oils for tired, overworked muscles and feet. It is also traditionally incorporated into abdominal massage blends and other body-care preparations designed to provide a cooling, comforting sensation.

Because Peppermint can feel quite stimulating, many people prefer using it during the morning and daytime rather than immediately before bed.

Traditional Uses: energizing aromatherapy, mental clarity, travel aromatherapy, seasonal diffusion, cooling massage, foot care, abdominal massage, post-activity body care, and refreshing home blends.

Ways to Use Organic Peppermint Essential Oil

Add 2–5 drops to your diffuser, adjusting according to diffuser capacity and room size.

Add Peppermint alone or combine it with complementary essential oils in an aromatherapy inhaler for a convenient refreshing ritual at home, work, or while traveling.

Car Diffuser

Add Peppermint to an appropriate essential oil car diffuser according to the manufacturer's directions for a fresh, minty driving environment.

Aromatherapy should never be relied upon as a substitute for rest when driving while fatigued.

Cooling Massage Oil

Properly dilute Peppermint in Jojoba, Grapeseed, Sweet Almond, or Dreaming Earth Botanicals Massage Base and massage into tired areas after physical activity.

Refreshing Foot Massage

Add Peppermint to an appropriately diluted foot oil and massage into tired feet at the end of a long day.

Footbath

For a refreshing foot soak, first dilute a small amount of Peppermint Essential Oil in an appropriate bath dispersant before adding it to warm water.

Never add undiluted Peppermint Essential Oil directly to bath or footbath water.

Peppermint, Eucalyptus & Frankincense Aromatherapy Blend

A fresh, clarifying aromatic combination for diffusion or a properly diluted topical massage blend.

Essential Oil Blend:

• 6 drops Spike Lavender Essential Oil

• 3 drops Frankincense Essential Oil

• 4 drops Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil

• 3 drops Peppermint Essential Oil

For Diffusion

Use an appropriate number of drops from the combined synergy according to your diffuser's capacity and manufacturer instructions.

For Topical Use

Cautions

For external use only. Do not ingest.

Peppermint Essential Oil is highly concentrated and should be properly diluted before topical application.

Avoid contact with eyes, mucous membranes, and other sensitive areas. Peppermint vapors and menthol can be intensely irritating to the eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after topical use.

Peppermint may cause skin irritation or an uncomfortable cooling sensation when used at excessive concentrations. Perform a patch test before topical use, particularly if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Use additional caution around infants and young children, particularly near the face and respiratory area. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

If pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or under medical care, consult a qualified healthcare professional before using essential oils.

Peppermint has an energizing aromatic character. If you find stimulating essential oils interfere with relaxation or sleep, reserve it for daytime use.

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
