🌿 Rich in menthol · long used for freshness & digestion
doTERRA Peppermint

What it does

The peppermint plant is naturally rich in menthol, the compound behind that unmistakable fresh, cooling sensation. Peppermint has been used for centuries: for fresh breath, a bright and clear head, and to give digestion a little room after eating.

doTERRA's Peppermint stands out for its high menthol content, the mark of top-quality peppermint. In Europe you bring it in as a food flavouring: one drop lifts a smoothie, a glass of water, a tea or a dessert straight away. And because it's so concentrated, you only need a tiny amount.

Why one drop

Pure essential oil is enormously concentrated. One drop of Peppermint equals a good handful of mint leaves. So: use diluted, and at most one drop a day.

A little trick: peppermint is also wonderfully cooling on the skin. For that there's Peppermint Touch, a ready-to-use roller that's already diluted. Roll it on your neck, the crook of your elbow or the backs of your knees for an instant pocket air-con; lovely on a scorching day or during a hot flush.

Wereldkaart met de herkomst van de doTERRA-oliën
Frankincense 🌍 Somalia · Oman · Ethiopia doTERRA's frankincense is a blend of several Boswellia species from Somalia, Oman and Ethiopia. Harvesters make careful cuts in the bark; the resin crystallises over a few days into beads, the tree's 'tears'. Every supply chain is audited against the FairWild standard. View Frankincense → Wild Orange 🌍 Brazil Sourced from hundreds of small farmers in southern Brazil, where the climate is ideal for citrus. The oil is cold-pressed from the peel; it takes around 154 oranges for one 15 ml bottle. View Wild Orange → Ylang Ylang 🌍 Madagascar · Nosy Be From growers on the island of Nosy Be, off Madagascar's north-west coast. The star-shaped flowers are hand-picked and distilled within 24 hours, so the rich, sweet aroma is preserved. View Ylang Ylang → Cedarwood 🌍 United States From the south-eastern USA, from Juniperus virginiana. A lovely detail: doTERRA distils the oil from sawdust and offcuts left over from timber processing, giving waste a second life. View Cedarwood → Magnolia Touch 🌍 Southern China The magnolia oil comes from southern China, from the white champaca. The delicate blossoms are hand-picked early morning or late evening and steam-distilled. View Magnolia Touch → Shinrin-Yoku 🌍 Japan (Hinoki) A blend with no single origin: oils from around the world come together. Its heart is Japanese, with the signature note Hinoki, the cypress of Japanese temples, inspired by shinrin-yoku, forest bathing. View Shinrin-Yoku → Peppermint 🌍 USA · India Sourced in the Pacific Northwest of the USA, from a family farm spanning generations, and in northern India (Uttar Pradesh). The steady, wet climate gives a high menthol content. View Peppermint → PastTense 🌍 Nepal A blend of several oils. Its most remarkable sourcing story sits in the wintergreen: wild-harvested in the mountains of rural Nepal, naturally rich in methyl salicylate. View PastTense → Deep Blue Stick 🌍 Nepal Built on the Deep Blue blend. Its main component, wintergreen, is wild-harvested in rural Nepal, where women climb the steep mountain slopes and communities manage their forest areas together. View Deep Blue Stick → Fractionated Coconut Oil 🌍 Philippines The carrier oil comes from the Philippines, from the coconut. Fractionation leaves only the light, liquid part: colourless, odourless and miscible with any essential oil. View Fractionated Coconut Oil →
