DETAILS

Peppermint essential oil is extracted from the leaves of the Mentha piperita plant, native to Europe and the Middle East, but currently cultivated in many world regions. Peppermint is a hybrid mint, a cross between water mint and spearmint. Its aroma is described as fresh, cool, herbal, and minty.

Peppermint has been valued since ancient times. People have used peppermint oil to treat various illnesses, including digestive conditions, colds, and headaches. And the leaves, fresh or dried, are often used for herbal infusions and to flavor foods, beverages, and personal care products, like toothpastes, shampoos, soaps, and skin lotions.

Peppermint contains more than 40 different compounds, and it has refreshing, cooling, stimulating, expectorant, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a popular essential oil around the world, used for a variety of different purposes:

DOSAGE

Peppermint essential oil is concentrated and potent; a couple of drops are usually enough for topical use and aromatherapy.

When using Peppermint oil on your skin, make sure to dilute it with a carrier oil, such as almond, coconut, or avocado oil. Always do a patch test. Remedy's Nutrition® Peppermint essential oil is in its pure and undiluted state. Start with small amounts: three drops in a teaspoon of carrier oil. If tolerated, you may increase the ratio until the desired effect is obtained.

For a cooling, tingling sensation on the skin, blend Peppermint oil with a carrier oil, and apply it to the skin. Or use a couple of drops of Peppermint oil in your body moisturizer.
For tired muscles, combine a few drops of Peppermint oil with a carrier oil and massage the desired area.
For a stimulating, focused environment, add Peppermint oil to your favorite diffuser.
Add a fresh, pleasing scent to your personal care and cosmetic products, adding a few drops of Peppermint oil.
Inhale peppermint oil by adding a few drops to a bowl of steaming water, or dilute it in a carrier oil and add it to a bath.
To make your DIY cleaner, combine a couple of drops of Peppermint oil with water in a spray bottle, and clean any area that needs it.

Q&A

Essential Oils are scented oils extracted from flowers, bark, stems, leaves, roots, and other plant parts. Historically, many different cultures have used these healing plant oils in medicine, cosmetics, perfumes, food, and aromatherapy.

Use extreme caution with companies that encourage you to ingest essential oils. Many companies erroneously promote the ingestion of essential oils, leading to severe kidney, liver, and heart issues. Some well-known companies have used this as a promotional tactic to increase income. But the reality is that essential oils generally are not developed for internal use, with few exceptions. See explanation of each oil for best use practices. Remedy's Nutrition Oils are evaluated by our Pharmacist, Registered Nurse, and Herbalist for quality and use.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils for healing purposes. Essential Oils may assist in the following applications: pain relief, mood enhancement, and increased cognitive function. Aromatherapy is a holistic treatment seeking to improve physical, mental, and emotional health. If you have a health concern, always seek medical attention and consult your health care practitioner regarding the use of any supplement or essential oil.

Yes, you can incorporate essential oils into your everyday life if you use them safely.

Because pure essential oils are concentrated and potent, usually, a couple of drops are enough for topical use and aromatherapy.

Store essential oils in a cool, dry, and dark place.

Remedy's recommends that, for initial topical use, all essential oils are diluted to avoid skin irritation, burns, blisters, and sensibility. For a healthy adult, dilute ½ tsp. of carrier oil, such as olive, coconut, avocado, or almond, for every 1 to 3 drops of essential oil, then apply to your skin!

Some essential oils can be toxic to children. Ensure you keep your essential oils out of reach of children and consult your physician before using essential oils on your kids.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, it's better to consult your physician before using essential oils.

Remedy's Nutrition essential oils are 100% pure practitioner oils and pharmacists reviewed. Remedy's essential oils are produced using a safe and clean distillation method, and they are appropriately handled and stored in a tightly sealed dark glass bottle. Quality and potency are guaranteed!
