How It Works
Peppermint essential oil's stimulating aroma is well-known for clearing the head, sharpening the senses, and enhancing mental clarity and alertness.
Inhaling peppermint oil can also be used to uplift mood and help overcome emotional fatigue.
Used topically, peppermint oil can be a potent muscle relaxant, providing relief from all types of body aches and soreness.
Peppermint's "icy-hot" feeling when applied is due to the primary active ingredient menthol, which creates a cooling sensation that numbs discomfort.
Applying peppermint oil to achy muscles or joints can help soothe tension and discomfort.
Applying one drop of peppermint oil to the temples on either side of the head may also help alleviate head discomfort and tension.
Peppermint oil can even be used to help reduce itching from rashes.
A few drops of peppermint oil can be applied to rashes with unbroken skin. Use a Carrier Oil when applying peppermint oil topically to protect your skin.
For bath time, add peppermint oil and epsom salt to your water for a more relaxing experience and to help reduce body stiffness or soreness.
After bathing, add a drop of peppermint oil to Hand & Body Lotion and rub into your skin thoroughly to promote circulation and give your skin a youthful glow.
When added to shampoo, peppermint oil stimulates blood flow to the scalp, soothes scalp itch or irritation, and helps regulate the production of sebum, the natural oil produced by glands on the scalp.
Peppermint oil is also great for use as a carpet freshener or bathroom deodorizer.
Peppermint oil even works as a natural mosquito repellent and bug spray for ants, spiders and gnats.
Mix peppermint oil with water and spray on trouble areas to deter vermin who hate the smell, or soak cotton balls with peppermint oil to repel mice and other pests.
Ingredients
100% pure organically-grown Mentha piperita leaf and flower oil. Product of USA. Steam distilled.
Quality
NSP scours the globe to find the highest quality plant sources. Hence, our oils often come from small, family-owned farms in developing regions as remote as Tunisia or Madagascar. While these farms follow organic cultivation practices, they simply cannot meet the high costs of Organic certification. We list oils that come from these farms as ‘organically grown’.
Botanical supply experts inspect sites to ensure that organic practices are in place and, as with all of our oils, third party and in-house GC/MS testing verifies the materials are pure and free of contaminants like chemical pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers or other adulterants.
Recommended Use
Essential oils may be used aromatically or topically in a variety of ways including diffusers, massage, compresses, baths, scrubs, lotions and sprays.
Essential oils should be diluted with Nature’s Sunshine Massage Oil or Carrier Oil before applying topically.
