| Extended Information | Also known as Corn Mint or Wild Mint, this cooling and refreshing essential oil is traditionally used to treat flatulence, digestional problems, gall bladder problems and coughs. The Aztecs used it for similar purposes and also to induce sweating and they used the infusion to cure insomnia. The oil was extracted and rubbed into the skin for aches and pains. Peppermint oil has a fresh, sharp, menthol smell, is clear to pale yellow in colour and watery in viscosity. Arvensis has a higher menthol content than piperita, making it slightly more potent therapeutically. |
