Peppermint Hydrosol – The Pure Form of Natural Freshness
Peppermint is a perennial plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family, naturally found in Europe and Asia, particularly at lower altitudes. It is known for its distinctive, penetrating, and pleasant aroma, both in its dry and fresh form. Its aromatic, warm, and slightly pungent flavor is distinguished by the characteristic cooling sensation it imparts upon inhalation.
Peppermint, a natural hybrid of Mentha aquatica (water mint) and Mentha spicata (green mint), is one of the mint species richest in volatile aromatic compounds. This rich composition gives peppermint its uniquely refreshing scent and its preferred effects in aromatherapy.
Peppermint has been traditionally valued in aromatherapy practices for its digestive, tonic, and invigorating properties, its energizing effect, and its refreshing power. Throughout history, peppermint has attracted the attention of scientists and healers across various cultures, and was renowned in China for its calming and antispasmodic properties, and in Ancient Greece for its analgesic and stimulating properties.
Its mythological origins lie in the water nymph Minthe in Greek mythology. According to legend, Minthe was transformed into a simple plant due to Persephone's jealousy; however, Pluto honored her essence by granting the plant the ability to release a sweet and refreshing scent when its leaves were crushed. Therefore, mint has been valued throughout history for both its aroma and its healing power.
Medical Mint Hydrosol, obtained through natural production methods, transforms this powerful herbal heritage into a pure, ready-to-use form. Its refreshing scent and versatile uses add a natural freshness to your daily care routine.
