Traditional Uses & Aromatherapy Benefits

Peppermint essential oil is widely associated with support for everyday discomforts and wellness routines, and is commonly referenced for concerns such as headache, nausea, chest congestion, flatulence, colic, fever, vertigo, and asthma-like discomfort. Its signature menthol content is what gives it that unmistakable cooling, refreshing character—making it a staple for both mind and body rituals.

A Plant with a Story

Peppermint is native to the Mediterranean, but today it’s grown across Europe, America, and Asia. In Greek myth, the nymph Mentha was transformed into a mint plant by Persephone—an origin story that matches peppermint’s unforgettable presence. Even Pliny noted its use in feasts in ancient Greece and Rome, and it has been valued in English herbal traditions for centuries.
