About Peppermint
Botanical Name: Mentha arvensis 
Plant Part: Herb 
Extraction Method: Steam Distilled 
Description: There are several species of the mentha arvensis perennial herb that can grow to 3 feet in height, spreading due to their underground 'runners'. Peppermint plant has hairy leaves with serrated edges and purple spiked flowers. Peppermint Japanese is known for its high menthol content. It is so high in fact that menthol crystals sometimes form right on the leaves. 
Color: Colorless to pale yellow liquid. 
Common Uses: Peppermint Japanese Essential Oil has long been credited as being useful in combating stomach ailments. It is also viewed as an antispasmodic and antimicrobial agent. Of course, most people will associate it with being a flavoring or scenting agent in foods, beverages, skin and hair care products (where it has a cooling effect by constricting capillaries and helping with bruises and sore joints), as well as soaps and candles. This is largely due to its menthol content – typically 85%. v 
Consistency: Thin 
Strength of Aroma: Strong 
Aromatic Scent: Peppermint Japanese Essential Oil has a sharp, penetrating mint scent based on its high menthol content. The sweetness of the vapor makes it easy to see why it is such a common flavoring and scenting agent. 
Peppermint leaf :  Tea, Aromatherapy
Orgin:   Commercially grown in Oregon, USA.
Peppermint brews a sharp, refreshing tea with its signature scent.   Aside from its reputation as a mental refresher, it also has been used to ease stomach ailments.  Peppermint has the reputation of being both invigorating yet relaxing. 

Cautions: Peppermint Japanese Essential Oil can be sensitizing due to the menthol content. Avoid use during pregnancy.
