What Makes Peppermint Essential Oil So Effective?
Peppermint Essential Oil derives its invigorating power from menthol and menthone - compounds proven to promote alertness, reduce fatigue, and provide cooling relief for the skin and muscles (Galeotti et al., 2002). These natural elements also open the respiratory pathways, supporting easier breathing and a fresher environment.
Historically used for its soothing and digestive properties, peppermint continues to be valued today for its ability to cool, clarify, and comfort -whether you’re refreshing a space, easing sore muscles, or re-energising your mind.
