Best Peppermint Essential Oil

Sharp, stimulating, menthol-rich peppermint essential oil is one of the popular, most-used, household essential oils. Native to the Mediterranean, it has become a well-known and vastly grown herb across the world with roots dating back to the times of Greek mythology. It is commonly used for oral health, digestive support, congestion, headache and muscle pain. It is also a staple oil in the spa and wellness industry.

Peppermint essential oil constituents offer analgesic, carminative (gas reduction), decongestant and digestive properties. The best peppermint essential oil is harvested after morning dew has evaporated, and then steam distilled.
