1. Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint (Mentha x piperita) is a hybrid mint that is a combination of spearmint and watermint. It has had a lengthy, documented use for several hundred years and many scholars believe it was even used by the ancient civilizations like the Greeks, Romans and Egyptians. While the Western Peppermint is identified as Mentha x Piperita, there is a second, similar type of peppermint called ‘Bohe’ by the Chinese and that type is identified as mentha haplocalyx. Both types of peppermint are used as the primary sources of plant-based menthol and menthone. These menthol or menthone compounds are found in everything minty ranging from toothpaste, to ice cream, to tea, to even cigarettes.

Most of the peppermint produced for the globe is grown in Morocco. They accounted for 92% in of the world’s peppermint in 2014! In the United States, peppermint is typically grown solely in the Pacific Northwest. Places like Oregon and Washington are the main suppliers in the US.

How to Use Peppermint Essential Oil

Peppermint essential oil can be used topically, internally and diffused. When looking to boost your energy, memory and physical performance capabilities, drinking a glass of water with 1-2 drops of essential oil should do the trick. You can also apply directly to the skin by applying 2-3 drops on the temples, forehead and back of the neck. Doing so will help alleviate headaches and reduce nausea.

Using the topical application method with peppermint essential oil can treat even more ailments and conditions depending on the location of the application. You can apply the peppermint oil anywhere on the skin where you have irritation from bug bites, sunburn or even in areas where you want to repel bugs or relieve muscle and joint pain, aches or soreness.

Adding a drop or two to a glass of water can also be very helpful in treating Irritable Bowel Syndrome too!

For fresh breath, just add a drop or two of peppermint oil to your mouthwash or toothpaste.

Diffusing peppermint essential oil or inhaling it directly from the bottle can treat allergies and provide allergy relief, improve respiratory health and clear the sinus, and help with nausea or stomach pains.

 

So depending on how you use your peppermint oil, there are a variety of problems it can solve!

Eucalyptus Globulus

Euclayptus Globulus is also known as the Tasmanian bluegum. It is a great aromatherapy herb to combine with peppermint in any energizing aromatherapy D.I.Y. blends you might try at your spa. It has a sharp, unique aroma like peppermint, but more of a woody, herbaceous overall scent.
