Useful Information
The menthol from peppermint is used by many pharmaceutical and OTC companies for topical products which have a deep cooling and analgesic effect for pain and swelling.
Peppermint has an internal cooling effect. This is considered by many to be useful in dispelling fevers.
Since ants, cockroaches, mice, rats and other pests strongly dislike the odour, it may be an effective alternative to conventional poisons.
**One of the few oils where redistillation is useful.  Original distiillation produces far too much menthol (sometimes up to 80%).  This makes the oil quite hazardous as it is unsafe to apply to the skin even diluted  Redistillation brings it down to about 40% which is tolerable and therapeutic.
