WHY WE STOCK IT

A 100% pure, certified-organic peppermint essential oil with a fresh, cooling aroma. Made from the flowering twigs of Mentha × piperita, it contains naturally occurring menthol and menthone.

It is licensed in Canada for occasional aromatherapy use and may help relieve cough and cold symptoms, digestive discomfort and certain muscle or joint pains when used according to the package directions.

BEST FOR

Adults seeking an organic peppermint oil for occasional inhalation or properly diluted topical aromatherapy.

Peppermint oil creates a cooling sensation but does not correct the underlying cause of persistent pain, breathing symptoms, headaches or digestive problems. It should not replace medical assessment or prescribed treatment.

HOW TO USE IT

Adults:

• Topical use: Mix with a vegetable carrier oil before applying. Follow the dilution instructions in the enclosed product insert.

• Direct inhalation: Use according to the enclosed insert.

• Steam inhalation: Add only the amount directed on the insert and use caution around hot water to prevent burns.

Use only occasionally. Wash your hands after topical application and avoid touching your face or eyes.

SAFETY CAUTIONS

For external use only. Do not swallow. If accidental ingestion occurs, contact a poison-control centre or seek urgent medical attention.

Do not use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Do not apply to broken, irritated or sensitive skin.

Avoid the eyes, inside of the nose, mouth and other mucous membranes. If contact occurs, follow the product’s first-aid directions; New Roots Herbal advises rinsing thoroughly with vegetable oil.

Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you have asthma or epilepsy. Strong peppermint vapours may irritate the airways or trigger symptoms in sensitive individuals.

Do not use on or near the face of infants or young children. Keep the bottle securely out of reach of children and pets. Ask a healthcare professional before using any essential oil on a child.

Patch-test the diluted oil before wider application. Stop use if nausea, dizziness, headache, skin irritation or an allergic reaction develops. Avoid exposing treated skin to direct sunlight, as directed by the manufacturer.

Do not apply near an open flame or heat source. Store tightly closed at room temperature. Do not use if the safety seal is broken.

Pregnant, breastfeeding, managing asthma or epilepsy, or considering peppermint oil for a child? Ask our pharmacist before use. Persistent cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, severe headache or unexplained pain should be medically assessed rather than managed with essential oil alone.
