When you’re searching for a refreshing burst of coolness, peppermint oil consistently delivers. A popular flavoring agent, peppermint oil’s distinct flavor profile imparts a fresh fragrance and cooling taste to a variety of foods, liqueurs and confectionaries. It also creates a crisp, familiar fragrance in soaps and cosmetics.
The herb peppermint is a hybrid, a cross between water mint and spearmint. Native to Europe, the peppermint plant now grows throughout North America and across the globe. Unlike peppermint extract, peppermint oil is made of pure peppermint; the concentrated oil is extracted by steam distillation from the fresh or partially dried peppermint plant just before it flowers.
Mint has been used medicinally for thousands of years, but it wasn’t until the 1700’s that peppermint was recognized as a distinct mint. Today, peppermint is used to treat many ailments, such as easing gastrointestinal distress, releasing symptoms of the common cold and congestion, easing headaches and tension, and alleviating insomnia.
Used topically, peppermint oil soothes muscle aches, itching and skin irritation. Many personal care products, including lip balm, moisturizer, soap, shampoo and toothpaste, contain peppermint oil.
