Peppermint Essential Oil
Peppermint essential oil stands out for its use against IBS and other GI conditions [1] as well as headaches. It is energizing, cooling and gives a fresh scent.
In addition to its great scent that many people associate with winter holidays, peppermint oil has benefits for athletic performance and can improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) [2].
Peppermint essential is obtained from the peppermint plant, Mentha x piperita, located in the Pacific Northwest and acquired via steam distillation.
