History and Usage:

Peppermint (mentha piperita), among the oldest health treatments in the world, is a very versatile herb with both medicinal and cosmetic benefits. The oil of the peppermint plant can be applied to the skin to ease tension, relieve minor nerve pain and improve circulation. Peppermint oil can be used to make the texture of the skin and hair supple. Further, it possesses an antibacterial quality that can cleanse the skin of the contaminants that cause blemishes. The brisk, invigorating perfume of peppermint, with both warm and cool elements, also relaxes and can help to improve mood and focus. Congestion and other symptoms associated with the common cold can be mitigated by topical application as well as by inhaling its scent.
