This oil's aroma is more delicate and sweet than peppermint, herbaceous and floral, with a cool menthol note. It's not overwhelming, but gently refreshing, toning, and clarifying, like morning dew. The oil's effects on the body: Peppermint (Mentha arvensis) essential oil has antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, and antiseptic properties. It gently relieves tension headaches and alleviates cold symptoms. It soothes itching and skin irritation. It helps with nausea and indigestion without overstimulating the nervous system. The oil's emotional impact: This soft aroma helps restore emotional balance after an unpleasant interaction. It soothes irritation, calms anger, and promotes balanced, unemotional decision-making. In perfumery: Top notes. Combines with lavender, rose, jasmine, bergamot, woody and chypre notes. Important: This is a milder version of peppermint, but the precautions are the same. Do not use on children under 7 years of age or while breastfeeding.
