ZenGest Touch Blend in dōTERRA Roll-On Applicator | 10ml

A natural hybrid of water mint and spearmint, peppermint is grown for its high menthol and menthone content. Menthol is what produces the immediate sensation of freshness, whether the oil is diffused or applied to the skin.

The leaves are the better-known part in cooking, but it is the seeds that are distilled here. Their linalool gives a soft note, faintly floral and woody, a long way from the sharpness of the leaf. In a blend it acts as a binder: it softens the spices and keeps the whole from turning too biting.

dōTERRA distils it in Madagascar from fresh, undried rhizomes, which preserves a rounder aromatic profile. The zingiberene it contains brings that recognisable spiced warmth, at once pungent and sweet. It is the ingredient that gives the blend its comforting character.

A biennial of the European and Asian countryside, already prized by the Romans. Its carvone gives a warm aroma, somewhere between aniseed and rye bread, with real depth. It lays down the base note on which the other spices settle.

A plant from the ginger family, distilled from its seeds. Its terpinyl acetate and 1,8-cineole bring the spiced roundness that softens the whole and signs the final aroma.
