Peppermint oil’s high concentration of menthol creates a cooling sensation when applied topically, which has made it popular in many products designed to reduce pain and inflammation. Interestingly, peppermint is actually a hybrid of spearmint and watermint, but the species crossed naturally in the wild at some unknown point, and now peppermint has naturalized in many parts of the world, growing and spreading easily.

Aside from its widely appreciated flavor, it has added therapeutic benefits, such as easing nausea and stomach aches, stimulating the senses, alleviating headaches, relieving congestion, and even combating dandruff when added to shampoo. It has natural qualities that repel pests, spiders in particular, so can be a good addition to homemade bug repellants. The scent of peppermint can heighten energy, focus, and memory recall, as well as possibly improving overall cognitive ability.
