Peppermint essential oil is one of dōTERRA’s best sellers, and one of the three oils the brand recommends for beginners. A hybrid of water mint and spearmint, it is grown in Oregon, where abundant rainfall gives it a high menthol content: the menthol is what makes it so fresh.
In the kitchen, one drop is enough: in your morning smoothie, in a cake or dessert, or in a tall glass of water with strawberries and slices of lime when the summer heat weighs heavy. After a hearty meal, one drop in a tall glass of water. With a drop of Lemon, it makes a refreshing mouth rinse. Diffused at the office, its minty aroma sharpens attention, and diluted, it refreshes the neck and shoulders during a massage.
A clean, powerful mint that goes from the kitchen to the office without changing bottles.
