Menthol Liquid Essential Oil, commonly known as Menthol Essential Oil, belongs to the mint family, along with the very popular Peppermint and Spearmint Essential Oils. Amongst a wide variety of essential oil benefits, Menthol Oil is best known for its intense cooling affect, which has been seen to assist with aches, pain and inflammation.

Carrying a refreshingly crisp and bitter-sweet aroma, Menthol Essential Oil is steam distilled from the Mentha arvensis botanical species. Because of this, many find it to be incredibly similar to Peppermint Essential Oil. However unlike Peppermint Oil, Menthol Liquid Oil undergoes a further fractionated/isolation process to isolate the Menthol content.

“Love the smell of AWO’s Menthol, its clean, sharp and fresh. Just a few drops in final washing rinse to freshen up clothes. If you like minty type scents then Menthol is the go! AWO package their oils beautifully, something I have not seen from some other suppliers. Gorgeous oil, paired with other oils in creams for aches and pains, it feels and smells heavenly”

Whilst essential oils are natural products, they are extremely potent and can cause serious harm if used incorrectly. For this reason, we recommend the following:

• In line with the Therapeutic Goods Act, we do not recommend ingesting essential oils without the guidance of a registered Aromatherapist or Naturopath.
• Avoid using Menthol Essential Oil during pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding.
• We recommend storing your Essential Oils in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ensuring that they are not directly exposed to sunlight and are out of reach of children or pets.
• Menthol Essential Oil is very concentrated and is likely to cause irritation or reactions if applied directly to the skin. For this reason, it is important to first dilute your essential oils before using topically (on the skin). Our recommended dilution percentages can be found under the ‘Directions for Use’ section.
