This is awesome peppermint oil! The primary constituent of Peppermint Essential Oil is menthol. Because of its wonderful aroma and flavor, peppermint is used for a variety of purposes commercially (food, candies, and toothpastes are common applications). Aromatherapists recommend peppermint to help alleviate feelings of anger, exhaustion, and depression. Peppermint is reportedly useful for digestive issues like indigestion, flatulence, or stomach upset. It may also alleviate headaches, cool fevers, and open up air passages when inhaled. We use peppermint primarily as a flavoring for our home-made chocolates. Dilute peppermint for topical use and massage on the feet or localized stomach area. Peppermint essential oil can be diffused.
