The most versatile essential oil I use, peppermint should be stocked in everyone's medicine cabinet. This is a very pure, very high quality therapeutic grade peppermint oil.
Note: This peppermint oil comes from the Pacific Northwest directly from the farm where it is grown and distilled. The Pacific Northwest is known for the highest quality peppermint in the country. This oil is steam distilled at low temperature and low pressure to extract many phytoconstituents that would normally not be extracted. The result is a lovely, complex and very rare peppermint oil with many subtle overtones and undertones with additional therapeutic properties that those constituents add to the oil.
It is very common in the industry to triple distill the oil to get a crisper "minty" smell. A lot of this triple distilled oil is sold to the gum and mint industry and smells like a candy cane, but this is not what high quality single distilled therapeutic grade peppermint oil is supposed to smell like. When an essential oil is triple distilled, some therapeutic components can be destroyed. Dr. Fosters Essentials peppermint oil is very unique and rare in that it has been distilled only once - NOT triple distilled. I applied a drop to a rash and felt the cooling sensation for over half an hour!
