Peppermint essential oil is one of the most popular essential oils in the world. It is cool and refreshing and a common ingredient from head to toe, from natural toothpaste right down to cooling foot balms.

Peppermint oil is commonly found in essential oil blends for muscle relief, to help clear the airways, for those who want to be uplifted with a fresh and energetic aroma, for tension around the temples, assist with reducing feelings of nausea among others.

If using peppermint oil in an aroma diffuser, it is advised to blend it with a non-cooling essential oil and not to diffuse it for a long period of time. Cooling oils will get in to the lungs after repeated hours of inhalation and make your insides feel cool, much like eucalyptus essential oil will.
