Collection: Peppermint {Mentha Piperita}

Stimulating. Minty. Fresh.

History:

Greek mythology claims the god Pluto was in hot pursuit of the sexy nymph Mentha. When his wife, Persephone, found out, Pluto turned Mentha into an herb. Traces of Peppermint have been found in Egyptian tombs from as far back as 1,000 BC, while the Romans used the herb as a digestive aid.

Source:

Our Peppermint oil is sourced from an organic farmer in India, who steam distills the plant’s leaves in situ, ensuring their exceptional quality and vibrancy.
