Background
Mentha piperita, commonly known as peppermint, is a perennial herbaceous plant that can reach a height of 30–90 cm. It features stunning purple four-lobed corolla flowers, surrounded by dark green leaves with striking red veins. Though native to parts of Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, peppermint is now cultivated worldwide due to its immense popularity and demand.
Historically, Organic Peppermint Oil has held a cherished place in traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine. Its dried leaves were even found in Egyptian pyramids, believed to ensure a pleasant afterlife. In Greek mythology, peppermint was immortalised through the tale of the nymph Mentha. Today, Organic Peppermint Essential Oil remains one of the most widely used essential oils globally—second only to lavender.
General Information
Ecodrop’s Organic Peppermint Essential Oil 10ml is steam-distilled from the handpicked leaves of Mentha piperita, grown organically in the temperate climates of India. These plants thrive in partial sunlight, and the leaves used for oil extraction are harvested when the flowers have just begun to bloom—at the point of peak oil concentration. The plantations are certified organic by the UK Soil Association, and the entire process is designed to preserve the oil’s purity and potency.
