What is Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) Essential Oil?

The light-sweet, cool aroma of peppermint clarifies and refreshes. Diffuse the oil near your desk for motivation and focus or during your meditation. Peppermint also has an invigorating effect on the body.

Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) is the best-known species of the mint family and therefore carries the most typical 'peppermint' aroma. Unlike Mentha Arvensis, Mentha Piperita smells less sharp and milder, but is certainly no less powerful in scent! The oil is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves.
