The many peppermint oil uses have been documented back to 1,000 B.C. and traces have been found in several Egyptian pyramids. Today, peppermint oil is valued for its cooling character and its crisp, invigorating scent. Peppermint has been used for the following:

• A fresh, clear atmosphere: Inhaling diffused peppermint oil offers a bright, minty freshness — a favourite for keeping a room feeling crisp and awake.
• Energy and focus: Take a few whiffs of peppermint on long road trips, in school or any other time you want enhanced focus and alertness. Peppermint oil is also a popular pick-me-up around workouts and training.
• Cooling comfort: Diluted in a carrier oil and massaged in, peppermint is appreciated for its cooling effect on tired muscles and aching feet after a long day.
• End-of-day wind-down: When rubbed onto the temples (diluted) or inhaled deeply, its cooling aroma is a traditional favourite at the close of a tense day.
