Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) is indigenous to Europe and the Middle East and the plant is now widespread in cultivation in many regions of the world. Peppermint has a high menthol content. The oil also contains menthone and carboxyl esters, particularly menthyl acetate. Menthol activates cold-sensitive TRPM8 receptors in the skin and mucosal tissues and is the primary source of the cooling sensation that follows the topical application of peppermint oil. Mentha Piperita contains natural insecticidal properties along with antiseptic and antimicrobial properties and can help with scalp conditions. Peppermint oil stimulates follicles and increases circulation to encourage hair growth.
