Our peppermint essential oil is made with a steam distillation process, using leaves from Mentha piperita on the lower slopes of Mt. Kenya. Peppermint is one of the most popular and versatile essential oils, known for its invigorating, cooling scent and refreshing fragrance. This oil is a great way to promote a positive atmosphere and add energy and brightness to your day. Essential oils are natural but powerful, and should be extremely diluted before use with children. Blend with a carrier oil such as baobab, moringa or cape chestnut to create a healing pain relief balm for sore muscles. Add a few drops to a diffuser to improve energy levels and freshen the air. Peppermint oil’s antibacterial properties make it a great addition to DIY cleaners – blend with unscented soap or bicarbonate for a natural scrub. Add 1-2 drops to a bowl of hot water, cover your head with a towel, and inhale to relieve sinus issues.
