How Does NSI® 100% Pure Peppermint Oil work?
NSI® 100% Pure Peppermint Oil is a highly-concentrated, undiluted extract that’s steam distilled from leaves of the Mentha piperita (peppermint) plant. The main volatile components of peppermint essential oil are menthol and menthone. Its leaves also contain phenolic consituents including rosmarinic acid and flavonoids such as hesperidin and luteolin.
Peppermint essential oil is considered “invigorating, energizing and stimulating.” It’s typically used in aromatherapy to:
Aromatherapy is the practice of using essential oils extracted from different parts of aromatic plants to support mental and physical health and well-being. Because they’re highly concentrated, essential oils are usually diluted in a carrier oil such as almond, olive, grapeseed or jojoba prior to use. For proper dilution ratios, please consult an aromatherapy book or professional.
Aromatherapy practices may include massage, inhalation, full-body bath, hand/foot bath, facial steaming, facial masks, compresses, spritzers, perfume and flavoring. Essential oils may also be used for household purposes such as room fragrance (using diffuser or humidifier), laundry, cleaning, dish washing and more.
Essential oils are susceptible to the effects of heat, light, oxygen and moisture. It’s recommended that they be kept away from direct sunlight, at room (or slightly lower than room) temperature. Be sure bottles are tightly closed after each use.
NSI® 100% Pure Peppermint Oil is better because it:
• Is steam-distilled for purity, quality and safety.
• Is a 100% pure essential oil available at a much better value than other similar products on the market.
Natural essential oils are highly concentrated and should be used with care. Always dilute before any use other than aromatherapy.
Avoid contact with eyes. Not for internal use.
Warning: Do not apply essential oils directly to the skin unless directed to do so by a qualified aromatherapist. Most essential oils are not for internal use.
