Mint is a strangely omnipresent flavour in day-to-day life. It's not one we necessarily seek that often, but it usually starts and ends each day when we brush our teeth and can crop up in anything from chewing gum to chocolate or a Mojito. In fact, it's one of the most popular tonic herbs known to man. Peppermint oil has a calming, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-septic, anti-spasmodic effect, and can help with digestion, nausea, toothache and acne.
Pure peppermint oil also has a unique ability to clear the lungs and mind, while peppermint essential oil is often used to help aching muscles and skin.
So if you want to shrug off a foggy morning head, or revitalise tired muscles, the power of peppermint is what you need.
