Peppermint oil by Radha

  I have started being more aware of chemicals and other toxins in my families purchases. So I was very excited to try this Radha Peppermint oil. I love that it is 100% pure. The oil arrived very quickly in a beautiful blue colored glass bottle, with a dropper. The price is great for the size of the bottle and strength of the oil.

  So far I have tried the oil combined with an unscented coconut carrier oil for a massage oil. It relieves sore muscles amazingly. I love this peppermint oil in a diffuser for aromatherapy. I have added it to homemade soaps. We live in a rural area, so I also put it on cotton balls around the house to repel spiders and mice. You can also put some in your cabinet to keep away the bugs that get in pasta and flour.

  The essential oils of mint are gathered by steam distillation. Peppermint is one of the oldest European herbs used for medicinal purposes. It has even been mentioned in Greek mythology. The health benefits of peppermint oil have been documented back 1000 years.
