Scientific name: Mentha piperita
Ahh... peppermint oil, one of my favorite oils! I just love that fresh, minty aroma! I like it even more in peppermint brownies! :-)
Diffusing peppermint oil can give you energy, and help drive away tiredness. It can also help you clearly think, concentrate, and remember.* Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati found that inhaling peppermint oil increases mental accuracy by 28 percent.*
Some people like to put a drop of peppermint oil in a glass of water or tea, to help digestion, relieve nausea, fight tiredness, or just enjoy the flavor. Others find a whole drop too strong. If you want to put essential oils in your beverages, it is recommended to always use a glass cup or bottle.
