Peppermint essential oil is a fresh, menthol oil with a strong, minty and cooling aroma. Peppermint essential oil is cooling when hot and warming when cold. It is used to disperse heat both physically and emotionally (e.g. anger). It has a stimulating and replenishing affect, so is useful for relieving tiredness, easing tension and helping the muscles in the digestive system.
Peppermint oil blends well with benzoin, eucalyptus, marjoram, lemon, lavender and rosemary.
