Mint Oil
Last updated : October 4th, 2011
This ingredient is neutral for your health.
Both the herb and the extracted oil of mint can be used medicinally. Mint oil is extracted from the whole plant or just the leaves using a number of different techniques, mainly steam distillation and solvent extraction. The United States are by far the main world producer of mint oils.
Mint as a fresh leaf, dried herb or oil is highly versatile. It provides anti-spasmodic actions on the gut, mental soothing, and abdominal pain relief. It is not just a home remedy with little more than a placebo effect, many of its uses have been proven and the mechanisms uncovered scientifically. It's quite safe to use and, while excessive amounts are not recommended, overdose is unlikely to be severely harmful. \
