Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) is the common name for the plant. The essential oil is derived from the distillation of the leaves and flowers, offering a fresh and cool aroma.

The organic peppermint essential oil is obtained from fresh or dried peppermint (Mentha piperita) through steam distillation. The yield of essential oil from the plant material ranges from 0.1% to 1%.

Organic peppermint essential oil is a colorless to yellow-green liquid. It has a strong, fresh, and characteristic minty scent. The essential oil easily dissolves in alcohol (1:5 ethanol 70%), vegetable oils, and other essential oils. It is almost insoluble in water. The main component is menthol, while lower concentrations include menthone, menthyl acetate, menthofuran, limonene, and pinene isomers.

The components of organic peppermint essential oil have medicinal properties. Peppermint has long been known as a medicinal herb and is one of the most recognized home remedies.

It can be used for hepatitis, herpes, cystitis, prostatitis, and renal colic. For applying peppermint essential oil, direct application to the relevant areas and bath oils are recommended. Additionally, organic peppermint essential oil has a stimulating and invigorating effect on the digestive tract. For pancreatic and liver disorders, dyspepsia, nausea, or vomiting, it can be used internally as well as in bath oils. Another significant effect of peppermint essential oil is its action against tension headaches. Furthermore, it has an expectorant effect when inhaled or used as a bath oil, making it suitable for colds.
