Dilute in distilled water and pour into spray bottle for an all-natural room fragrancer.

Peppermint grows worldwide but major producers are the USA, India and China. It's native to Southern Europe.

You may find that Peppermint blends particularly well with benzoin, eucalyptus, lavender, marjoram, lemon and rosemary.

Add 1-2 drops to a bath to soothe the joints after a session in the garden or post workout. Add a few drops to a vaporiser along with Rosemary oil for an energising blend to help you focus whilst studying. Add 2-3 drops to a flannel and place at the base of your shower in the morning - allow the hot water to release the invigorating aromas through the steam as you shower. Perfect for a morning pick-me-up! Dilute to a maximum of 1% in a carrier oil and use in massage to help settle the stomach and soothe the muscles.
