Aroma
  • A sharp, piercing, and cool-mentholic aroma.
  • It is crisp, clean, and intensely refreshing.
  • It opens with a high-voltage, icy blast that immediately widens the nasal passages, followed by a sweet, herbaceous heart with a slight peppery bite.
  • Its dry-down is clean and balsamic.
  • It smells "vibrant"—like a breath of cold mountain air or a freshly crushed leaf between your fingers

Common Usage Digestive System Support

  • Easing Nausea: Inhaling Peppermint is one of the fastest ways to settle an upset stomach, motion sickness, or morning sickness.
  • Relieving Bloating & Gas: Massaging a diluted blend from clubarome.com onto the abdomen helps relax the smooth muscles of the GI tract, reducing cramps and flatulence.
  • IBS Symptom Management: Widely used to soothe the discomfort and spasms associated with irritable bowel syndrome.

Pain Relief & Physical Comfort

  • Headache & Migraine Relief: Applying a highly diluted drop to the temples (away from the eyes) and the back of the neck can provide a cooling distraction from tension headaches.
  • Soothes Sore Muscles: Acts as a natural analgesic and "refrigerant," providing a deep cooling effect on overworked muscles and hot, inflamed joints.
  • Relieving Itchy Skin: Very effective at stopping the "itch" from insect bites, hives, or poison ivy when diluted in a carrier oil.
  • Cooling Hot Flashes: A light mist of Peppermint floral water (or highly diluted oil) helps lower body temperature during menopause or extreme heat.

Respiratory & Immune Health

  • Clearing Sinuses: The menthol acts as a powerful decongestant, thinning mucus and opening up restricted airways during colds or allergy season.
  • Reducing Coughing: Its antispasmodic properties help calm a dry, hacking cough.
  • Fever Reducer: Massaged into the soles of the feet, it can help the body naturally regulate temperature during a mild fever.

Mental Clarity & Focus

  • Brain Power: Inhaling Peppermint increases oxygen flow to the brain, improving concentration, memory, and mental alertness during study or work.
  • Combatting Fatigue: Its sharp, "wake-up" aroma provides an immediate energy boost when you feel mentally or physically drained.
  • Dispelling "Brain Fog": Helps clear mental confusion and provides a sense of "freshness" to an overwhelmed mind.

Blending note Because Peppermint is so dominant, it can easily "drown out" delicate florals. It works best with other strong, clean, or herbaceous oils that can match its high energy

Do you know? Peppermint is so cooling that it can actually trick the body into feeling cold in a hot room. Conversely, because it stimulates blood flow, it can also help warm the body during a chill. It is a true "thermoregulator."

Contraindication
  • High Potency.
  • Peppermint is very strong and can be irritating to the skin and eyes.
  • It must be heavily diluted (1–2%). Avoid use on infants or very young children (under 6), as the menthol can cause respiratory distress.
  • It should also be avoided by those with cardiac fibrillation or G6PD deficiency
