Peppermint Organic Essential Oil (10ml) - A sweet, citrus, fragrance with uplifting and rejuvenating effects

Lily & Loaf Peppermint Organic Essential Oil (10ml) - The cool, sweet aroma of peppermint is emotionally and spiritually uplifting and rejuvenating, enhancing mental clarity. Cooling and relaxing elements soothe mind and body.

Peppermint oil is steam distilled from the fresh leaves of Mentha piperita. Discoveries prove that peppermint has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece and Rome, to crown the Greeks and Romans, and has been used medicinally in England for centuries.

The minty-fresh fragrance of Peppermint essential oil is universally recognised and appreciated. Inhaling a few drops on a tissue is reviving, and is an aid to concentration. This is also useful for clearing sinuses, travel sickness and jet lag. Peppermint offers cooling and relaxing properties, with a familiar, sweet, cool aroma that seems to penetrate airways, helping to clear and soothe. In aromatherapy it is used to help focus, and increase concentration, relaxing and calming a busy, stressed mind. It is a useful muscle relaxant that can be used to relieve stiff and aching muscles and joints and is often used in sports therapy.
