Peppermint oil may be the most useful and versatile of all essential oils. Uses abound in the house, kitchen, and garden. The highest quality peppermint oils come from East India, where warm days, cool nights, and plentiful rainfall yield the perfect balance of nature that produce the best peppermint oils. This is the origin of Essentially KateS Premium Peppermint Oil.
Mentha piperita is a perennial hybrid that only proliferates by spreading its rhizomes underground. A very hearty fast-growing herb, it can grow anywhere. It has reddish veins and lightly fuzzy leaves, and its interesting chromosome count can vary between 66 and 120 chromosomes.
Peppermint's name has its roots in Greek mythology. Hades, a god of the dead, pursued the beautiful nymph, Minthe. Hades' wife, Persephone, became jealous and turned Minthe into a small and insignificant plant on which to be trampled. Pluto could not undo the transformation, but ensured that Minthe would always be loved for her fragrant aroma.
