Nahrin Peppermint Oil – 15ml

There are several kinds of mint. The most commonly known is pepper mint, a hybrid of water mint and green mint. Peppermint essence is extracted by steam distillation of the slightly dried leaves. For 1 kg of essence about 2000 kg of leaves are necessary. Nowadays the best quality of mint is cultivated in Italy and England. The quality of the peppermint oil is very important as to its efficacy.

Peppermint oil is one of the best known aromatherapy essences. At home or your travelling “pharmacy“ it is a necessity. It is a very fast acting substance helping with dizziness, trembling and general weakness. Some drops on a handkerchief as dry inhalation has an almost immediate effect.

Peppermint oil is ideally suitable to treat headache and tensions which affect the neck area. Massage one to two drops of pure essence on sore muscles and also apply on the forehead (make sure that the oil does not get into your eyes).

Peppermint oil is warming oil and can be used to relieve cramps and has a stimulating effect on digestion. It helps with flatulence, nausea and vomiting, with travel sickness and seasickness and it is also a harmless remedy against morning nausea during pregnancy.

Due to its antiseptic and expectorant characteristics, peppermint oil is helpful against colds, flu and may be inhaled or taken internally (if used internally dilute only 1-2 drops in a tea).

Peppermint oil, diluted in water, alcohol, vinegar or fatty oil is a very good product to be used for massages to fight sore muscles, lumbago, bruises, contusions, pains of the joints and insect bites. Peppermint oil also  good for sports massages. The concentration should not be more than 1%.
