peppermint oil

Peppermint oil is an essential oil extracted from the leaves of the peppermint plant. It contains natural compounds like menthol, which give it a refreshing aroma and cooling sensation. Widely used for its soothing properties, it can help alleviate digestive issues, headaches, and muscle pain when applied topically or inhaled. Additionally, peppermint oil is common in personal care products, such as toothpaste and skincare items, due to its antimicrobial and invigorating qualities. While generally safe, it should be used with care, as concentrated forms can cause skin irritation or adverse reactions if misused.
