6 Benefits of Peppermint

Nature is rich with herbs and plants that offer multitudes of benefits to us humans. One impressive plant that is worth talking about is peppermint. Peppermint is one of those aromatic plants that doesn’t go off the radar. Botanically known as Mentha pipperita, it is a hybrid between water mint and spearmint, according to Simon Mills in his work ‘The Dictionary of Modern Herbalism’.

Now, let’s check out the numerous benefits peppermint can offer. One thing is for sure, there are many!

1. Skin Rejuvenation

Peppermint is amazing at cleansing and rejuvenating the skin tone. It can be used in its diluted state mixed up with rock salt and olive oil. It is guaranteed to give great results on skin. It also prevents the skin from developing further infections and allergies.

2. Clears up Sore Throats

In this season and the change of weather where sore throats and colds are very much prevalent, peppermint could be the remedy you’ve been waiting for. Simply mix it up with ¼ teaspoon of salad oil and dilute it in a glass of drinking water with half a teaspoon of rock salt, and you have a gargling substitute that works well to relieve your throat woes.

3. Hair Shampoo

Hair growth problems? Peppermint oil is the perfect answer! Its antiseptic agents help in cleansing the hair, giving strength to the scalp, and boosting hair growth agents.

4. Heals Sunburns

As summer fast approaches, sunburns will once again be another irritating feeling you’ll experience aside from the prickly heat. Good thing is peppermint can cure sunburns and can help your skin stay hydrated by allowing the heat to disperse. A few drops of peppermint added to aloe vera gel can work as a skin hydration agent.

5. Relieves Headaches

Too much heat can also trigger headaches, and we are all familiar with how painful and disturbing the experience is. Thankfully, peppermint’s menthol properties soothe the pain and cool down heat that results in headache. Applying a few drops of peppermint to the forehead cools it down and relieves discomfort.

6. Dishwashing Soap

Peppermint’s antimicrobial properties make it an ideal ingredient for dishwashing liquids and pastes. Additionally, the strong but aromatic scent of its peppermint oil also provides comfort while washing the dishes - a task we admit to not enjoy at all times.
