Country of Origin: USA
Method of Extraction: Steam Distillation
This oil is distilled from peppermint grown in Yakima, Washington, one of the highest quality peppermint oils found in the marketplace.
Its aroma is refreshing, minty and very herbaceous. Among its known properties are: Cooling, analgesic, antispasmodic, anesthetic, decongestant, emmenagogue, expectorant, febrifuge, insecticide and stimulant. Should be kept away from eyes, likely to irritate skin and mucous membranes. Best avoided by pregnant women and nursing mothers as it could discourage flow of milk. May antidote homeopathic remedies.
Helps people become clear headed and refreshes the spirit. Helpful for people who are unable to concentrate or who have mental fatigue. Said to relieve states of anger, hysteria and nervous trembling, excellent for depression.
On the body, it has a dual action....cooling when hot and warming when cold. As a remedy for colds, it halts mucous and fevers and encourages perspiration. Extremely important for its effect on the digestive system (some users recommend 1 drop on a sugar cube or on a teaspoon of honey).
Has a slightly anesthetic effect on stomach muscles. Good for travel sickness, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, colic, nausea and to keep drivers alert while on the road. Its cooling and pain relieving action seems to ease headaches, migraines and toothaches. Used in liniments for the relief of muscle pain, lumbago, bruises, joint pain and insect bites. Can be used to relieve any kind of skin irritation or itching but should be used in a dilution of 1% or less or the irritation could be made worse. Not much liked by insects and vermin, great for getting rid of ants and rodents. Blends well with cedarwood, cypress, lavender, niaouli and pine. Flash point: 151 F. OK to ship via air or ocean.

We have been purchasing from Camden Grey since 1999. It is our go to company for essential oils. This peppermint is wonderful and the peppermint that started our company.

The quality of this oil is noticeably superior to other brands I've bought. One drop of this is stronger and the scent is pure, delightful peppermint. Don't breathe too deep on your first sniff--you might burn your nose! It is truly delightful. You don't even need a diffuser for it--just put one drop in a cup of hot water while you're working in the kitchen. Wonderful! This is worth buying again and again.

I love this essential oil, it smells so good. I also love that it is grown in my home state. A little goes a long way with this one. My customers love it.

Very minty, strong, top shelf. The folks over in Yakima make great wine and apparently peppermint too. I use this for my mouthwash and breath sprays. I will be buying quite a bit more of this one while it lasts.

I Loove this essential oil. I am a fan of all the peppermint, but this one end up being my favorite out of all of them. Probably because this has a sweeter peppermint taste and smell then the others. However it is still just as sharp and strong as the others! I use this on my hair, for circulation and a cleaner feel for my scalp. Between oil treatment, shampoo, conditioner. It has saved me many times for stomach aches I had, (TMI) but even for cramps and other personal women things. Helps when I feel I over ate. A little goes a long way! Seriously! I even feel this helps for acne too, at least it was an addition with my other essential oils that I use for my face for acne and didn't have any problems. Will continue to buy, obviously :-).

Peppermint is my favorite EO and this one is superb! Strong, green, minty with just a tad of the candy cane smell people love so much. A top quality oil at a great price. Thanks Camden!

This peppermint oil is a little sweeter than others I've encountered, which is nice. It doesn't burn your nose like some tend to do. We use it as air freshener and as a winter house fragrance. It WILL leave a strong cold-burning sensation if it gets on your skin, so be careful!

The fragrance of this Peppermint EO is smooth and complex. It has a wonderful fresh fragrance which is perfect to pair with other oils. It is strong, and a little goes a long way. This is a very natural, earthy mint fragrance with many different tones, making it a more sophisticated scent. This is not your Christmas Candy smell. It is much more beautiful!
