Peppermint is a hybrid of water mint and green mint, and was first described by Carl Linneaus in 1753. What characterizes the best quality peppermint is the high concentration of menthol, such as that found in doTERRA Peppermint essential oil. Often used in toothpastes and chewing gums for oral hygiene, Peppermint is one of doTERRA's favorite essential oils and also one of our best-sellers.
