What is Peppermint? Peppermint (Mentha × piperita) is arguably the most famous "refresher" in the plant world. It is a natural cross between water mint and spearmint. Its secret lies in the high menthol content, which provides the typical sharp, cooling taste. In naturopathy, it has been valued for centuries to "clear" body and mind.

Mint is a blessing in skincare, especially on hot days or after sports. The menthol contained activates the skin's cold receptors without actually lowering body temperature – a brilliant trick of nature.

• Itch-relieving: Thanks to the cooling effect, peppermint can help immediately soothe annoying itching (e.g., from insect bites).
• Clarifying for impurities: It has an antimicrobial effect and slightly dries out pimples, regulates sebum production, and leaves the skin feeling clean.
• Promotes circulation: The alternation of cooling stimulus and subsequent warming promotes microcirculation and wakes up tired skin.

While lavender calms, peppermint provides focus and liberation. It is the ideal companion for feelings of tension and heavy thoughts.

The core competencies of mint:

• Relieves tension headaches (proven home remedy: dab diluted oil on the temples).
• Has a beneficial effect on nausea and gastrointestinal cramps (antispasmodic effect).
• Clears the airways: Inhalations with mint allow you to breathe deeply again during colds.
