Minty, reminiscent of peppermint candies, but
more concentrated. More fragrant than spearmint.
About the Oil:
Peppermint is a big
favorite among the food industry, and can be found as a
flavoring agent in gums, candy, ice cream, and pastries.
However, peppermint really shines in aromatherapy, as
its fresh, comforting scent soothes and relieves all
sorts of ailments, both mental and physical.
What are essential oils?
Essential Oils are the naturally occurring volatile oils obtained by distillation
or expression having the characteristic aroma of the plant part from which it
was derived. These 100% pure oils are neat, meaning they have not been processed
or manipulated in any way with solvents or other additives. Though a particular
species of plant harvested and distilled for its essential oil during a particular
growing season in a specific region may produce a fragrance that differs from
the same species grown that season in a different region, many of the main chemical
markers and physical specifications may be similar.
Do essential oils have a grading system to tell me which is better?
There are many companies selling Essential Oils today spinning many tall tales
regarding the quality or grade of their products. To our knowledge there exists
NO official grading system in any of the more respected sources of essential
oil literature. Neither The Federal Register and Code of Regulations, FEMA nor
AFNOR has to date adopted a system that grades these oils as an A, B or C grade.
A product is either 100% pure essential oil or it's not. All of our 100% pure
essential Oils are labeled as such. We also sell oil blends that are formulated
with essential oils or absolute extracts and pure grapeseed oil and are clearly
labeled.
Warning:
Always dilute before any use other than aromatherapy.
Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes.
If pregnant or lactating, consult a practitioner before
use. Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and
should be used with care. Do not use on babies or small
children. May cause irritation to sensitive skin, however
it is rare. Do a patch test, first, before applying in
large amounts. Do not use in baths. Should not be used
in conjunction with homeopathic remedies, as it will act
as an antidote.
