What Is Peppermint Oil?

Peppermint is a hybrid species of spearmint and water mint (Mentha aquatica).

Not only is peppermint oil one of the oldest European herbs used for medicinal purposes, other historical accounts date its use to ancient Japanese and Chinese folk medicine. It’s also mentioned in Greek mythology when the nymph Mentha (or Minthe) was transformed into a sweet-smelling herb by Pluto, who had fallen in love with her and wanted people to appreciate her for years to come.

The many peppermint oil uses have been documented back to 1,000 B.C. and have been found in several Egyptian pyramids.
