Peppermint essential oil is derived from the Moroccan peppermint plant, a hybrid of spearmint and water mint. This highly concentrated oil is extracted through steam distillation of the plant’s leaves and flowers. Its main components are menthol, menthone, and eucalyptol, which are responsible for its cooling and soothing properties. Peppermint oil can help relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. It is also a useful treatment for acne and can help balance the scalp’s acidity level. Rich in vitamin A and manganese, it is a popular choice for treating sinus infections, coughing, and chest and mouth infections. Additionally, it is known for its stress-relieving and memory improving properties, making it a versatile and therapeutic herbal remedy for many medical and cosmetic purposes.
