A traditional toothache reliever, it is excellent for treating acne, bad breath, migraines, and scabies. Furthermore, thanks to its antispasmodic action, it is a supreme remedy for asthma.
It blends well with the essential oils of bucchus, eucalyptus, lavender, marjoram, and rosemary, as well as other mints and benzoin absolute.

Uses

Peppermint essential oil is used in mouthwashes, toothpastes, disinfectants, and cough medicines. Found as a flavoring agent in many foods and chewing gum, it is also widely used in soaps and perfumes.

Botany

Originating from a hybrid cultivated since the sixteenth century in England, peppermint is therefore also called "English mint". It is a herbaceous plant up to one meter tall, with lanceolate leaves covered in fine, bright green hairs and a strong aroma.
