Mentha Piperita
10ml
Peppermint is believed to help improve concentration and clarity of thought. Evidence from the Egyptian tombs dating back to 300BC shows that the benefits of peppermint have long been recognised. The name Peppermint is derived from the Latin word mente meaning “thought” because the Romans used Peppermint as a tonic for the brain.

Extraction: Peppermint essential oil is extracted from the fresh or semi-dried leaves and flowers of the herb.
Aroma: Peppermint essential oil is fresh, very minty, hot, herbaceous, with a vegetative back note.
