Plant Therapy Organic Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint is a perennial herb that thrives in Europe, North America, and Asia. This low-growing, leafy plant produces smooth, jewel-like, dark green leaves with clusters of small, pink and lavender flowers. Traditional use of peppermint dates back centuries, originating in India where it was well-loved for its revitalizing and cooling properties.
