Peppermint

Announcement of packaging upgrade: The manufacturer of GreenHealth essential oils has notified us that they are replacing the induction sealed caps on their 16 fl oz and 32 fl oz plastic jugs with leak-resistant child safety caps starting October 2019. All GreenHealth essential oils and fragrance oils shipped in white plastic jugs will be fitted with child-resistant caps going forward. Blue tape (on the older style packaging) mystery explained: There have been some complaints and confusion from our customers about these blue tapes used on the older style packaging. The blue tape was applied by our fulfillment team before leaving our warehouse to seal around the cap area to reduce the possibility of oil leakage during transit. These induction sealed caps, based on our experiences, are not leak-resistant for shipping essential oils. We wanted to assure you these containers are unopened and the contents have never been tampered with. All of our products sold on eBay are new and unopened. With the new leak-resistant packaging, we will no longer need to use the blue tape to seal around the cap area. Japanese Peppermint Oil - 100% PURE Essential Oil!

Description: There are several species of the peppermint plant, many of which can grow to 3 feet in height, spreading due to their underground 'runners.' The mentha arvensis peppermint has hairy leaves with serrated edges, and purple spiked flowers. This Japanese Peppermint is known for its high menthol content, so high, in fact, that menthol crystals sometimes form right on the leaves. Common Uses: The familiar aroma of peppermint is known for both its warming and cooling properties. Friendly to the sinuses, peppermint is also useful to the muscular system, especially for women during monthly cycles or menopause. Peppermint is commonly used in tea, chewing gum, and candy, but the Essential Oil that we sell is much, much stronger and more concentrated, and should therefore be used in moderation. Peppermint is widely credited as being a digestive aid. The leaves contain menthol, which is a proven aid to digestion. A very fresh and clean smelling herb, it is a refreshing and energizing mental stimulant, can be used to enhance the well-being of digestive and respiratory system, and works as a good nerve tonic that helps with mental fatigue and nervous stress. And of course, it also helps relieve bad breath. Additionally, peppermint can be used as a detterent against unwanted rodents and insects. Mixes well with: Basil, eucalyptus, geranium, grapefruit, juniper, lavender, lemon, myrrh, pine, rosemary, spearmint, tea tree, and wintergreen. Safety Information: Avoid if pregnant or breast feeding. Do not use on babies or small children. Do not use around pets, as it can be toxic in higher doses. May cause irritation to sensitive skin, however it is rare. Please 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 may act as an antidote.
