Peppermint Essential Oil {EO Info Series}

Peppermint is a signature scent of the holiday season, and one of my favorite essential oils for relieving a variety of aliments! This post contains affiliate links and I will be compensated if you make a purchase after clicking on my links.

Peppermint essential oil (Mentha x piperita) is steam distilled from the leaves of the mint plant. It has a strong, cool, minty scent that blends well with many oils, including Eucalyptus, Lavender, and Lemon.

Benefits & Uses

Peppermint is one of the most versatile essential oils. Some of its many benefits include promoting energy, reducing sinus headache & congestion, relieving nausea, and soothing sore muscles.

Cautions

Peppermint essential oil is safe for use around dogs, but should not be used (diffused or topically) with children under age 6. A dilution of 2-3% is recommended for topical applications in adults.
