Peppermint is an extremely popular and well-known essential oil thanks to its current wide use in the toothpaste and food industries. Fortunately, peppermint is being rediscovered for its many medicinal, beauty and emotional uses. Peppermint, a hybrid of watermint and spearmint has a sharp menthol aroma that is pungent and powerful. Peppermint blends well with citrus, herbaceous and woodsy scents.
Peppermint’s name can be traced to Greek mythology. Hades, god of the dead, pursued Minthe, a beautiful nymph. Persephone, Hades’ wife, turned Minthe into an easily trampled plant, in her jealousy. Unable to restore Minthe, Pluto made sure Minthe would always be remembered for her fragrant aroma.
