Product Overview
Our Peppermint is 100% USDA Organic, Kosher, non-GMO, Heirloom, and ethically produced! The aroma is of what I like to call "eye watering potency". Peppermint and other strains of the Mint family, all naturally produce an amazing phytochemical called Menthol. This is the same Menthol used in cigarettes, Listerine, Vicks Vapo rubs, etc. Adding Peppermint to anything gives it a touch of Menthol. Learn more much about other constituents that Mint creates via peer reviewed journals online. We offer free shipping! This item is also available in our ETSY Shop!
Note: These pages are often updated as I am very busy. I come back and add more content to them, and as always, back it up with peer reviewed citations.
