About:
When it comes to essential oils, only a few such as peppermint can claim the title of most versatile due to its variety of benefits. This cherished oil has been used dating back to 10,000 BC to help soften the skin and combat body odor. This spicy scented oil was used by the Ancient Egyptians as part of the embalming process. Dried peppermint leaves were also commonly placed in tombs as a symbol of holiness.
Peppermint thrives in cool or temperate regions where there is plenty of rainfall. When 10% of the peppermint crop is in the flowering stage, it produces the optimum oil. This yields a high menthol content that gives peppermint that cool, unmistakable invigorating scent. One whiff of peppermint oil and suddenly your senses come alive.
