Medicinal Grade Peppermint Essential Oil

Did you know that Peppermint grown in the USA is not very high in menthol? In fact, Peppermint grown in the USA does not contain enough menthol to produce medicinal grade essential oils. Peppermint grown in the USA is more a recreational grade oil. Menthol is the ingredient in Peppermint that relieves pain. Purify Skin Therapy carries Peppermint Essential Oil that comes from France where the menthol levels are naturally much higher.  (Remember, we never add synthetic or chemical ingredients to “boost” oils.) That means that you will have increased pain relief when using our medicinal grade organic French Peppermint.

Peppermint is one of our “essential” essential oils that can be used for so many things!
•    It is stimulating for your body. Use for a quick pick-me-up or when you need to stay alert.  Don’t put it around your eye area, it really stings for a minute if it gets in your eye!
•    Peppermint has a particular capacity to oxygenate the blood. This makes it extremely effective for headaches, stress, and depression.
•    Use Peppermint around temples and back of neck for instant headache relief. You can follow it with lavender for a complete headache treatment.

•    It is one of the main ingredients in the liver cleanse.
•   You can use Peppermint alone for great pain relief on joint pain. Or you can use it in this awesome pain blend: Mix 8 drops organic French Peppermint, 6 drops organic Oregano, and 4 drops organic French Lavender, mixed into 1 Tablespoon of Carrier oil.  Apply on joint pain. Use only medicinal quality organic oils for best results.

Please be Aware: Because this Peppermint has such a high menthol content it is not recommended for children 30 months or younger.  The menthol in it may cause breathing spasms in young children.
