How To Use

Dilute by the drop: Essential oils are very strong and must be diluted (usually in a carrier oil) or incorporated into something like a massage oil, lotion, or aroma spray. The essential content should only account for 0.5-2% of the total blend.
Care Tips For Your Essential Oils: Store with cap closed tightly in a cool dark space and away from light. Keep away from direct heat or open flame. If stored correctly, essential oils will last 1-4 years.
Safety Tips For Your Essential Oils: Always use essential oils with caution. Inhalation or prolonged exposure may cause dizziness, nausea, and headaches. Only use essential oils by the drop and always dilute. Before topical use, always perform a skin patch test. Keep essentials out of reach of children and pets. Not recommended for internal use. Do not apply to eyes or mouth.

Botanical Name: Minthostachys setosa

Description: Muña is a multi-branched, small leaved deciduous shrub prized for its medicinal and aromatic values. Essential oils can also be extracted and sold as a concentrate. Also known as Andean Mint, usually growing from 30 to 200 high, with white flowers and aromatic leaves (2.700 – 3.100 m). Used to support the respiratory system as well as a digestive aid.

Of Interest: The "mint-like" aromatic herbs of the genus Minthostachys are limited to the Andean zones of South America, with perhaps 12 species distributed at various altitudes from Venzuela to Argentina. The plethora of integrating phenotypes typical of Minthostachys spp. adds uncertainty to species determination. The use of vegetative characters to separate species is confounding. Species are separated by counting and measurement of calyx ribs.

History: Peppermint and its name has its roots in Greek mythology. Pluto - god of the dead - fell in love with Minthe, a beautiful nymph. Pluto's goddess wife Persephone became jealous and turned Minthe into a plant. Pluto could not bring her back to life but ensured that she would have a wonderful and fragrant aroma.
