aromáma Peppermint 100% pure essential oil 5ml
With its cold, refreshing, menthol scent, peppermint essential oil is useful all year round. Peppermint energizes, stimulates and helps to concentrate. It is super useful when suffering with respiratory illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia etc. It is one of the most effective aromatherapy remedies for headaches and nausea. Peppermint has this unique property – it cools you down when you are hot, and warms you up when you are cold. It also stimulates the sweat glands, so it is perfect to use in the sauna. Peppermint essential oil blends well with other essential oils such lavender, tea tree, rosemary, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lemon and pine.
Because of its strong menthol scent, it is not recommended for pregnant women, breastfeeding mums, children under 3 years of age, people with asthma, epilepsy and high blood pressure. Best practice is to use peppermint essential oil during the day, rather than the evenings, and with moderation.
This peppermint essential oil comes all the way from our suppliers worldwide, and is bottled in the fragrant aromáma laboratory in Lithuania. Every single bottle is touched by our beautiful Goddesses’ hands.

- Peppermint oil is great in the sauna. Pour hot water into a metal bowl or a tin, add 20 to 30 drops of essential oil, keep it in the hottest corner of the sauna, and enjoy the scent. Never pour water with essential oils directly on hot stones – high heat will not only kill all the therapeutic properties of essential oils but also release compounds harmful to health. High heat and essential oils are incompatible.

We recommend adding essential oils to a single amount of the product, before use, because adding essential oils to the entire container can affect and change the consistency of the product in a long run.
