How to use Peppermint Pure Essential Oil

Diffuser: Add 6–8 drops of your chosen essential oil to your diffuser and let the aroma fill your space.

Quick fix: Inhale deeply from the bottle for a quick, calming reset, perfect for work, travel, or any time you need a moment to yourself.

Shower: Add 2–3 drops to the corner of your shower and let the steam release the therapeutic benefits of the oil.

Topically: Dilute 1 drop of essential oil with 5ml of carrier oil and apply to your wrists, chest, or the back of your neck.

Compress: Add 2 drops of essential oil to a bowl of water. Use cold or room temperature water for inflammation or cooling relief, and warm to hot water for sore, tight muscles. Soak a face washer in the water, wring out the excess, and apply to the affected area. Repeat 2–3 times as the compress cools or warms.

Steam Treatment: Add 2 drops of essential oil to a bowl of steaming hot water. Lean over the bowl with a towel over your head to trap the steam, and breathe deeply. Keep your eyes closed during the treatment and use caution to avoid burns or scalding.

Where is Peppermint Essential Oil From?
Our Peppermint oil is sourced from India. Peppermint farming stimulates the economy all over the plantation region and it is a big part of the agricultural production. It is usually grown similarly to other herbaceous oils, such as Basil and is grown as an alternative to other food crops as the oil is not perishable.

How is Peppermint Essential Oil Made?
The aromatic leaves of a Peppermint farm can vary from a few square metres to a few acres. Traditionally, the farming is done on family lands in India, which are usually very small to medium farms. The roots are planted in mid-February to mid-March and the harvest period is between May and April. Peppermint plants can grow up to 80cm tall and depending on their growth the local farmers use traditional tools like a sickle, spade or shovel to harvest the plant. The essential oil is mainly found in oil glands under the leaf and extracted by steam distillation. Plant material is boiled and the rising steam is then collected. Once the steam cools, the essential oil floats to the top of the steam water, also known as a hydrosol. The hydrosol can be used for other aromatherapy or culinary purposes. It is thought that the essential oil of Peppermint was probably not used extensively until it reached Brittan in the 16th Century.
