Use PEPPERMINT to create a cooling mist spray. This is good for your plants—and for the back of your neck while gardening! We’ll show you how to make that spray in just a minute. But first, let’s look at some of the benefits of PEPPERMINT.
The peppermint plant is actually a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753. A high menthol content — like that found in this Peppermint Essential Oil — distinguishes the best quality Peppermint from other products.
Frequently used in toothpaste and chewing gum for oral health, Peppermint also helps to alleviate stomach upset and promotes healthy respiratory function.
