Peppermint is a very popular aroma in essential oils, candles, bath oils, and to drink in a hot tea. I personally love the smell of this plant, so it’s great to have it around the house. The menthol in peppermint relaxes your body and increases alertness. So, if you have a stressful day ahead or feeling a bit overwhelmed, it might be worth grabbing some leaves and making a hot tea.
