A perennial herb with pleasingly pointed green leaves, peppermint is grown throughout many regions of the globe, particularly Europe and Northern Africa. Its strong minty aroma is very evident, even upon gently brushing the plant, and its fragrance has a sweet note, along with a hint of pepper, as its name implies. Peppermint is widely used in candy, food and drinks, and it is regarded as one of the most important essential oils in aromatherapy!

History of Peppermint
Peppermint has long been used for a variety of purposes. The bracing aroma of peppermint is pungent and reviving, but sweet and slightly floral subtleties lie within, which may contribute to its ability to be both uplifting and calming. It is a versatile oil and is often used to make toothpaste and even to help keep pesky intruders such as bugs and mice from entering your home!
