Peppermint Powder

Peppermint Essential Native to Europe, peppermint is one of the oldest herbs used for medicinal purposes historically. Hailing from the lavender and rosemary family, peppermint is a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and the oil is extracted through the process of steam distillation from the leaves and topmost flowers of the plant.

Peppermint essential oil is a natural antibacterial, antiviral, anti-fungal and analgesic (pain reliever) and is an excellent anti-parasitic. Used by cultures all over the world for its powerful medicinal properties, modern research today attributes these qualities to menthone, menthyl esters, and most importantly to the active compound, menthol, which is found in high concentrations in peppermint oil. Peppermint oil is used widely in the manufacturing of products we use daily such as shampoo, chewing gum, toothpaste, ice cream, soap, tea and more.
