Peppermint was widely used by teh ancient Greeks and Romans, and may have been cultivated by the Egyptians. The term "mint" is from the Greek Mintha, a mythological nympth transformed into a plant by the goddess Persephone after she learned of her husband Pluto's love for her. This oil is 100% pure.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita)

Fun fact: It's believed that the genus Mentha was named for the mythological nymph Minthe, who, according to Roman legend, was seduced by Pluto, then turned into a plant by his jealous wife. Pluto then turned Minthe into an herb, to be valued by generations to come.
