Peppermint Essential Oil 15ml

One of our top-selling oils, Peppermint essential oil’s versatility comes from its remarkable combination of flavour, aromatic, and therapeutic benefits. As a registered natural health product (NHP), doTERRA Peppermint essential oil has many valuable applications in aromatherapy. 

CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade® Peppermint oil has a distinct, invigorating aroma that creates a positive and energizing atmosphere. Because Peppermint essential oil has a high menthol content, Peppermint has a cooling effect when applied topically and provides a soothing sensation during a massage. Peppermint also adds a refreshing, minty taste to desserts and beverages, and is frequently used in toothpaste and chewing gum for oral care.

Peppermint oil can help relieve symptoms of digestive discomfort and nausea when used in herbal medicine. When diffused or used topically in aromatherapy, doTERRA Peppermint’s cool, refreshing aroma has calmative properties and can help relieve symptoms related to colds and coughs.
