Peppermint essential oil is one that I often overlook when using oils in therapy for some reason. But I used it without fail every time I travel as I find that inhaling it from a tissue was incredibly helpful to prevent any nausea or anxiety when travelling. I now find that I have used it for so many years (literally decades) for this purpose that I can just close my eyes on take-off when flying and I can smell it!
For skin a tiny amount is all you need as an anti-itch (blended in an oil/cream and peppermint is extremely helpful also in aftersun to soothe skin.
I use peppermint leaf tea as a digestive aid and is my favourite herbal tea. A small amount of Peppermint essential oil 1/2 drops only can be carefully blended with a vegetable oil and massage the stomach/abdomen in a clockwise direction for indigestion and digestive issues.
In our own products, I use peppermint essential oil as an active ingredient in our highly effective Midges & Mozzie Balm. Prevents and also soothes after any bites.

Peppermint Essential oil is steam distilled and is perennial herb native to Europe and was brought to USA later. USA is now a large producer of peppermint essential oil. It is pale yellow or olive coloured. It has a strong minty fragrance. Peppermint has been used since ancient times as a flavour. It is best to use peppermint during the day rather than evening/before bed, as it can be a stimulant.
When using essential oils where you have specific medical problems always contact a qualified aromatherapist or consult with your GP
