Essential oils are found in many pharmacies, health food stores, new-age stores, department stores, and natural food supermarkets. You can choose from a wide variety of brands. Essential oils are not of the same quality–most essential oils available on the market today are not high quality products and have little or no therapeutic value. They either have been cut with other substances, rectified, deterpened, adulterated, or are partly synthetic. Most essential oils lack information about their true content. You can find yourself with a very hazardous product, with no guarantee about its origin and therapeutic value. Buy only 100% pure, certified essential oils!

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) has a strong, clean, fresh, minty aroma. One of the oldest and most highly regarded herbs for soothing digestion, it may also restore digestive efficiency.* Jean Valnet MD studied peppermint's supportive effect on the liver and respiratory systems. Other scientists have also researched peppermint's role in improving taste and smell when inhaled. Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint's ability to improve concentration and mental sharpness. Alan Hirsch MD studied peppermint's ability to directly affect the brain's satiety center, which triggers a sensation of fullness after meals. This powerful essential oil is often diluted before topical application. Peppermint may also be used to enhance the flavor of food and water. 5ml
Purification® can be used directly on the skin to cleanse and soothe insect bites, cuts, and scrapes. When diffused, it helps to purify and cleanse the air from environmental impurities including cigarette smoke and other disagreeable odors. 5ml
