The Meaning Of Peppermint Essential Oil
Today, the word mint refers to any plant in the genus Mentha, in the plant family Lamiaceae. Mint plants are typically aromatic with square stems.
The etymology of the word mint is fascinating. It is ultimately derived from the Latin word for thought. This has influenced a number of different languages, with the most notable examples in the Western world being English and German:
In Middle English they used the word minten, and in Old English, myntan, which were understood to mean: intend, purpose, determine, resolve, or to mean…
It is also found in the Proto-West Germanic language in the form of muntijan, which translates thus: to think or consider.
It, therefore, may come as no surprise that mints in general, including peppermint and spearmint, exert a good number of benefits on our mental health.
Mint has earned a reputation for having a positive effect on brain function in a number of ways:
- Increasing alertness & attentiveness.
- Improving focus.
- Increasing our capacity to remember things
- Reducing mental fatigue.
- Imparting reviving & motivating influences.
Wildcrafted Organic Peppermint Essential Oil is well paired with Organic Rosemary Essential Oil, which is considered the aromatherapy oil of remembrance. Combining these two oils with Cananga Essential Oil would also enhance the cerebral benefits of these oils.
In addition, adding Wildcrafted Organic Peppermint Essential Oil to Ceph Essential Oil Blend, could also help to enhance the benefits of this brain focussed essential oil blend.

This peppermiint oil is by far the best I have used, it is so powerful just one drop does so much. I am using it together with gurjun oil in my morning oil pulling practice. I have Crohn’s which can often cause a very sore mouth but since oil pulling with these two oils my mouth has been very healthy, thank you.. I also take one drop in water to relieve any nausea or digestive discomfort and like magic it’s sorted. Thank you so much for all your caring and sharing of your amazing knowledge. Pauline, X

Wowww (often the first expression I have with Rachel’s incredible essential oils)…this is just delicious! What an incredible Wildcrafted Organic Peppermint oil, I have quite frankly never smelt a peppermint essential oil that smells such sweet, peppery depth and delicious tones that could easily be swirled into making artisan chocolate.
Again, another incredibly potent, powerful and out of this world delicious oil, that will be of great pride to use in my self-healing toolkits. Useful as: analgesic, antibacterial, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiviral (and more) and for general uses such as headaches/migraines, nausea, digestive problems, colic, sinus congestion, IBS, muscle aches, pains, injuries, fatigue etc.
The price range is very similar to other well-known brands, yet the quality for it being Wildcrafted & Organic is a clear winner for me. Just delicious in every single sense!! Thank you! Xx

Hi Jen, thanks so much for such great feedback! And, funny you should mention this oils potential use in chocolate. I make my own every week, and often use this wildcrafted, organic peppermint essential oil to flavour it. It’s wonderful… incredibly refreshing, and such a sensorial treat! x xx x

This peppermint oil is so good. I use a little for making toothpaste, rub it on my temples to clear headaches & also use it for indigestion.
Just a drop in a pot of homemade chocolate is far better than any shop bought mint-chocs too!

Hi Miranda, I’m glad you’ve found so many great uses for your Peppermint Essential Oil. If you ever get tired of Peppermint toothpaste you can always try using Organic Sweet Orange Essential Oil and Copaiba Essential Oil, both of which are excellent for oral health. x x x
