Description
Peppermint is a hybrid plant resulting from a cross between water mint and spearmint (Mentha spicata). It was apparently first observed in a cultivated spearmint field in England at the end of the XVII century. Cultivation began in England, Holland and Germany in the middle of the XVIII century.It is sterile and cannot reproduce from seed, but its complex root system allows it to spread easily and become distinctly invasive.
Mint has been cultivated and used for more than 4000 years, although it is uncertain which type is depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphic illustrations, particularly those found at Edfu. It has been established that the Egyptians used a type of mint to prepare sacred perfumes.
In Greece, mint was used therapeutically and also featured in mythology. Mintha was a nymph seduced by Hades. When his wife Persephone discovered them, she punished the nymph by turning her into a sterile plant: mint.
Mint is also one of the plants dedicated to Venus,
In imperial Rome, mint leaves were woven into bridal wreaths and scattered on the floor of the bridal chamber for their aphrodisiac qualities.
Today, peppermint is cultivated in many countries, including India, China, the United States, Japan and France…
Alongside tea tree and lavender, peppermint essential oil is probably one of the best known and most widely used. In Germany, it is commonly used to relieve headaches and clear a blocked nose.
Its pleasant, refreshing aroma is unmistakable.
In aromatherapy, peppermint essential oil is used to relieve various types of pain and digestive disorders.

I use it a lot for migraines and when I feel nauseous. Simply smelling it improves my mood.

When you have a headache or too much on your mind, gently massage your temples and between your eyebrows with mint essential oil diluted in fractionated coconut oil, keeping well away from the eyes. You will feel relief quickly.

A very good, refreshing scent. I use it for toothpastes and my gels. This is not my first purchase and will not be my last.
