Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil
Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil has a crisp, cooling aroma that can help create a fresh, invigorating atmosphere at home, work or during study.
Its versatile scent makes it popular for diffusion, personal fragrance blends and everyday aromatherapy routines.
Dr. William N. Dember of the University of Cincinnati studied peppermint’s effects on concentration and mental activity and found that inhaling peppermint oil increased mental accuracy by 28 percent.
It has also been cited for it’s ability to support healthy digestion and promote proper respiratory function.
Alan Hirsch, M.D., studied peppermint’s value to add to comfort and satiety after a meal.
Dr Hirsch found that when inhaled, peppermint may improve/restore the sense of taste by stimulating the trigeminal nerve and stimulates the brain’s satiety center (ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus) to curb appetite.

Ingredients
Young Living 100% Therapeutic Grade™ peppermint essential oil (Mentha piperita)
ORAC – Peppermint has an approximate ORAC of 373,455 (TE/L) *
What is the ORAC capacity?
* The ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) unit, ORAC value, or “ORAC score” is a method of measuring the antioxidant capacity of different foods and supplements. It was developed by scientists at the National Institutes of Health. While the exact relationship between the ORAC value of a food and its health benefit has not been established, it is believed that foods higher on the ORAC scale will more effectively neutralise free radicals. According to the free-radical theory of aging, this will slow the oxidative processes and free radical damage that can contribute to age-related degeneration and disease.
