Peppermint Essential Oil
The peppermint plant is actually a hybrid of watermint and spearmint and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. A high menthol content—like that found in the doTERRA Peppermint essential oil—distinguishes the best quality Peppermint from other products. Peppermint is a “cool” oil and can be applied topically for a refreshing sensation. Peppermint continues to be one of the best-selling favorites among doTERRA essential oils
