Peppermint has a penetrating grassy, mint odor that's mentally stimulating and useful in soothing nervous stress. It helps relieve common muscular aches and pains; however, this oil can quickly drop the body temperature because of its menthol content so use only on small, localized areas of the body. Helps fortify the immune system in addition to being good for the digestive and circulatory systems. Known to deter mice, ants and spiders.
