Aroma
  • A rich, chocolatey-cool, and intensely sweet aroma.
  • While it has the signature icy blast of peppermint, it is noticeably smoother and more "velvety."
  • It opens with a piercing menthol top note, but quickly settles into a heart that smells remarkably like dark mint chocolate or a gourmet confection.
  • It lacks the sharp "grassy" or "biting" edge of common peppermint, offering a deep, balsamic sweetness instead

Common Usage Deep Physical Relief & Recovery

  • Intense Muscle Cooling: Because of its high menthol content, it is superior for treating "hot" injuries, severe muscle spasms, and post-workout inflammation.
  • Neuralgia & Nerve Pain: Provides a powerful numbing (analgesic) effect that is highly effective for sciatica or shooting nerve pain when diluted in a carrier oil from clubarome.com.
  • Migraine Support: Its extra-strong aroma is particularly effective at "breaking" the cycle of a burgeoning tension headache or migraine.
  • Itch Relief: Provides immediate relief for extreme itching from hives, shingles, or severe insect bites by "tricking" the nerve endings with a cooling sensation.

Advanced Digestive Support

  • Managing Severe Nausea: A favorite for travel sickness and postoperative nausea; inhaling it directly from the bottle or a tissue often provides the fastest relief.
  • Relieving Acute Indigestion: Helps relax the stomach muscles to ease painful gas, acid reflux, and bloating after heavy meals.
  • Stimulating the Liver: Used in traditional aromatherapy to help support liver and gallbladder function (applied topically over the abdomen).

Respiratory & Sinus Clarity

  • Maximum Decongestion: Known as one of the strongest "lung openers," it is excellent for clearing stubborn mucus and opening airways during bouts of sinusitis or heavy colds.
  • Cough Suppressant: Its antispasmodic properties help calm persistent, hacking "nervous" coughs.

Mental Focus & Energy

  • "Shock to the System": Used to revive someone who has fainted or is in a state of sudden emotional shock.
  • Combatting Burnout: Provides a sharp mental "jolt" for those suffering from chronic mental fatigue or the "afternoon slump."
  • Clarifying Thought: Helps eliminate "mental clutter" and improves logical decision-making during high-pressure situations.

Blending note It pairs exceptionally well with oils that have "dark" or "heavy" profiles, as it can cut through them while adding its own mysterious depth

Do you know? The "Mitcham Mint" (Black Peppermint) was once the most expensive and sought-after peppermint in the world. During the 19th century, the London district of Mitcham was almost entirely covered in these purple-stemmed mint fields to supply the global perfume and liqueur industries.
