Essential Peppermint Oil is said to help with ailments such as asthma, colic, fever, bloating, headaches, nausea, chest complaints, and dizziness. It is believed to be excellent against mental exhaustion and depression and, thanks to its menthol content, has a refreshing and stimulating effect. It is good for the skin and is used in lotions to treat sunburn, itching, and inflamed skin. In mouthwashes, it helps against bad breath and gum inflammation. When used in a fragrance lamp, it not only has therapeutic effects but also keeps mosquitoes and other insects away.

Peppermint originally comes from the Mediterranean region but is now also cultivated in other countries in Europe, America, and Asia. Finds show that peppermint has been used since ancient times in Egypt, Greece, Rome, China, and Japan. According to the Greek sage, the nymph Mentha was transformed into a mint plant in a fit of rage by Persephone, the wife of her lover. According to Pliny, peppermint was used by Greeks and Romans as a crown at festivals. In England, it has been used medicinally for centuries.
