In Egypt, evidence of a type of peppermint was found in tombs dating from 1,000 BC. It has been used extensively in Eastern & West- ern medicine. It is also included in the British Herbal Pharmacopoeia! This is a perennial herb that grows up to 3 ft. high with underground runners which is easily propagated. If it is not contained in a garden, it will take it over quickly!! Peppermint essential oil is used world wide in the food industry as well as a fl avoring agent in pharma- ceuticals. It's used readily as a fra- grance component in soaps, tooth- paste, cosmetics & more! In using peppermint as an essen- tial oil, it is very popular and highly effective. It is non-toxic and a non- irritant.....when diluted in a car- rier oil. For skin issues it helps with acne, dermatitis, ringworm, scabies & more. It's great for neuralgia & muscular pain. It has a reputation for anti-spasmodic actions, so it's helpful for asthma & bronchitis. As with the nervous system, it can be helpful with fainting, headaches, mental fatigue, migraines & nervous stress. Of course it's most popular for digestive issues such as nausea, colic, cramps & much more. So, however you decide to use the multi-faceted essential oil, be sure to enjoy it's wonderful aroma!!
