Description
This variety of peppermint smells the most like candy canes. Peppermint oil from the USA, specifically from the Williamette or Yakima Valleys is regarded in aromtherapy as the best smelling and the most therapeutic peppermint anywhere.
Peppermint, part of the mint family, is actually a naturally occurring hybrid cross between watermint and spearmint. Peppermint Essential Oil has been used for thousands of years for its digestive and concentrative benefits.
The main chemical component of peppermint is menthol, a powerful therapeutic compound. Menthol in Peppermint Essential Oil provides a calming and numbing effect, as menthol is commonly used to help alleviate headaches, anxiousness, digestion aid, and skin irritation.
