Peppermint vs Spearmint

This is one of the most versatile and indispensable oils in the world, renowned for its incredible range of uses, from digestive support to mental clarity.

Its potent, minty scent is instantly recognisable and is a must-have for any home wellness and aromatherapy collection.

Key Benefits & Uses:

Digestive Soother: This is Peppermint's most famous benefit. It is a powerful digestive tonic, traditionally used to soothe indigestion, gas, bloating, and colics. It's also a go-to for easing feelings of nausea and motion sickness.

Tension Headache & Pain Relief: When diluted and applied to the temples and back of the neck, its cooling "analgesic" sensation provides fast, effective relief for tension headaches and migraines. It's also fantastic for cooling and soothing sore, tired muscles.

Respiratory & Sinus Clearing: Inhaling the powerful aroma (either from the bottle, in a steam, or in a diffuser) is a classic remedy for clearing congested sinuses and easing breathing during a cold or flu.

Mental Stimulant: Peppermint is a potent mental stimulant. It's brilliant for fighting fatigue, clearing "mental fog," and improving focus and concentration, making it a perfect study or work companion.

Refreshing & Cooling: Add to a foot bath to refresh tired feet, or to a spray bottle with water for a cooling body mist.

Important Cautions:

Peppermint is a very strong ("hot") oil. Always dilute heavily with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.

Keep away from the face of infants and young children.

Avoid during pregnancy.
