Peppermint is a plant with a long history and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. For our Compass Mints we use only pure peppermint oil, which brings some benefits. More on this blog.
A review of the peppermint
At 18. In the 19th century, peppermint was frequently grown in English gardens and quickly became an integral part of many medicines. In the 1820s, peppermint oil was first distilled from fresh plants and marketed as a digestive aid. Then peppermint oil was also used for the first time for chewing gum!
Good for health
Peppermint can do a lot! It is a natural source of vitamins A, C and E. In addition to breath refreshment, peppermint oil has many other positive effects, such as it can help with gastrointestinal complaints, bile problems and headaches. Likewise, it can be antimicrobial, antiviral, nerve soothing, and sleep-promoting.
Production of peppermint oil
Peppermint oil is obtained by steam distillation or cold pressing from the leaves and flowers of the plant. The essential peppermint oil can then be used in a variety of ways.
Compass Mints contain 100% natural essential oils in all products. Due to the very high proportion of menthol in our essential peppermint oil, the fresh breath lasts much longer than in other artificially produced breath fresheners.
Take care of it next time! 🙂
