doTERRA Peppermint Oil

The high menthol content of doTERRA Peppermint oil sets it apart from others when it comes to quality — making it one of the best-selling favorites among doTERRA essential oils.

Description

The peppermint plant is a hybrid of water mint and spearmint, first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. A high menthol content — like that found in doTERRA Peppermint — distinguishes the best quality Peppermint oil from other products. Its crisp, instantly recognizable scent is a classic in toothpaste, chewing gum, and candies, and in the diffuser it's pure wake-up magic: cool, bright, and invigorating.

Uses

• Diffuse for a crisp, energizing atmosphere during work or study sessions
• Add a drop to your favorite smoothie or hot cocoa recipe for a refreshing minty twist
• Place one drop of Peppermint essential oil in the palm of your hand with one drop Wild Orange oil and one drop Frankincense oil and inhale for a mid-day pick-me-up
• Dab onto a cotton ball for cupboards and corners — a popular natural option for deterring pests
• Mix into DIY foot scrubs and shower melts for an icy-fresh spa moment

Directions for Use

Diffusion: Use three to four drops in the diffuser of your choice.
Topical use: Apply one to two drops to desired area. Dilute with a carrier oil to minimize any skin sensitivity.
