  • Peppermint is a hybrid species of spearmint and water mint (Mentha aquatica).
  • Fresh and minty, but milder than spearmint, this is the most common toothpaste scent.
  • The plant, indigenous to Europe and the Middle East, is now widespread in cultivation in many regions of the world. It is found wild occasionally with its parent species.

  • Peppermint oil’s versatility and power are the reasons it is included in many Young Living essential oil blends and personal care products.
  • Its primary active compound, menthol, is present in many sport, food, cosmetic, and medical products.
  • Menthol’s ability to chemically trigger the cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin is responsible for the well-known cooling sensation it provokes when inhaled or applied to the skin.
  • Menthol’s analgesic properties are mediated through a selective activation of κ-opioid receptors in the brain.
