Introduction
Peppermint oil is an essential oil extracted from the peppermint (Mentha piperita) plant, which has many special properties and uses.The main methods of preparing peppermint oil are distillation and solvent extraction. The distillation method involves heating and evaporating the leaves and stems of the mint plant through a distillation device, followed by condensation to collect the essential oils. The solvent extraction method uses solvent to dissolve the essential oil in the peppermint plant, and then evaporates the solvent to obtain pure peppermint oil.Safety Information: Peppermint oil is safe when used correctly, but excessive use may cause some adverse reactions. Control the dosage when taking peppermint oil internally to avoid problems such as stomach pain, acid reflux, and mouth ulcers. For infants and young children, peppermint oil should be avoided. Also pay attention to dilution when applying peppermint oil topically to avoid irritation and allergies to the skin.
