Peppermint Essential Oil 10 ml

Peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita) is one of the most dynamic and high-energy oils in aromatherapy. Famous for its high menthol content, it provides a powerful cooling sensation and an immediate "wake-up" call for the senses.

Key Benefits and Uses

Instant Energy & Focus: A go-to for mental fatigue; inhaling its crisp aroma helps sharpen concentration, boost alertness, and provide a natural "pick-me-up" during a long day.

Cooling Relief for Tension: When highly diluted and applied to the temples or back of the neck, its cooling effect helps soothe tension headaches and migraines.

Soothes Sore Muscles: Its antispasmodic properties make it an excellent addition to massage oils for relieving muscle aches, joint stiffness, and post-workout soreness.

Respiratory Support: Acts as a natural decongestant; diffusing peppermint can help clear the airways, ease seasonal allergies, and promote easier breathing.

Digestive Comfort: Traditionally used to calm occasional nausea and bloating when massaged onto the abdomen (always in a carrier oil).

Scalp Stimulation: Adding a drop to your shampoo can stimulate the scalp, help reduce dandruff, and leave your hair feeling refreshed and invigorated.
