Description
Used in Europe, ancient Japan and traditional Chinese herbalism, peppermint oil is one of the oldest herbs used to support wellness. It is traditionally valued for its cooling effect and, when used topically, has been known to help relieve sore muscles. Peppermints characteristic refreshingly cool-breeze mint quality is due to its content of menthol, the essential oil found in its fresh leaves and in its stem. Menthol, menthone and menthyl esters found in peppermint and peppermint oil are often used for overall health.
