Wild Mint Essential Oil

Wild peppermint essential oil (peppermint arvensis) is extracted from the Mentha arvensis plant, a species of peppermint that grows wild in many regions of the world. It has a similar aroma and the same therapeutic properties as peppermint essential oil, but with a slightly milder and sweeter scent. In addition, wild mint essential oil is more commercially interesting than its counterpart “Peppermint (Piperita).” However, wild peppermint is less commonly used in aromatherapy compared to peppermint oil.
