When it comes to essential oils that pack a punch, peppermint is at the top of the list. With its refreshing aroma and wide range of benefits, peppermint essential oil is one of the most versatile oils you can keep on hand. Whether you're looking to boost your energy, soothe sore muscles, or support digestion, this powerhouse oil has got your back.
But not all essential oils are created equal—and doTERRA’s Peppermint Essential Oil stands out for one key reason: purity you can trust.
Why Choose doTERRA Peppermint Essential Oil?
What sets doTERRA apart is their commitment to quality, sourcing, and transparency. Their peppermint oil is:
CPTG Certified Pure Tested Grade®: Every batch undergoes rigorous third-party testing to ensure it’s free of pesticides, contaminants, or synthetic fillers.
Sourced from the Pacific Northwest: doTERRA partners with growers in optimal climates, where peppermint naturally has a higher menthol content.
Potent and Effective: Just one drop delivers a crisp, invigorating effect that’s far more powerful than most over-the-counter brands.
When you're using essential oils for wellness, purity matters—especially if you're applying it to your skin, inhaling it, or using it internally. With doTERRA, you know exactly what you're getting: 100% pure, powerful peppermint oil.
1. A Natural Pick-Me-Up
Feeling that afternoon slump? A drop of peppermint in your diffuser or rubbed (diluted) on your temples can give you a much-needed energy boost. Its crisp, invigorating scent wakes up the senses and helps with mental clarity.
Nicky shares that one of her favorite combos is peppermint and wild orange. “I use a drop of each in the diffuser or on my hands when I’m feeling tired—it lifts my mood and helps me focus.”
Try this too: Add a drop of peppermint to your palms, cup over your nose, and take a deep breath. Refreshment in seconds!

2. Soothe Tired Muscles
After a workout or a long day, peppermint oil is amazing for relieving tension and soothing sore areas. Its natural cooling properties provide fast comfort.
DIY muscle rub: Mix a few drops of doTERRA Peppermint with Fractionated Coconut Oil and massage into your back, legs, or shoulders or use in a sugar scrub in the shower.
3. Support Healthy Digestion
Peppermint is well-known for its digestive support. doTERRA’s food-grade purity makes it safe for occasional internal use to help with bloating or discomfort.*
Pro tip: Add one drop to a glass of water after meals. (Only use essential oils internally if they are clearly labeled safe for internal use—like doTERRA’s.)
4. Freshen Breath & Brighten Oral Care
Because of its fresh, minty taste, peppermint is a natural choice for oral hygiene. It can be used in DIY toothpaste, mouth rinses, or simply as a breath freshener.
Nicky’s tip: “I love putting a drop of peppermint on my toothbrush for a fresh start to the day—it wakes me up and my mouth feels so clean!”
5. Cool Down Naturally
Hot day? Post-workout sweat? Peppermint to the rescue! Its cooling effect makes it the perfect natural alternative to synthetic sprays.
Nicky loves using it in a spray bottle. “I mix peppermint with water and spritz it on my face and neck when I’m out in the sun or after exercising. It instantly cools me down and smells amazing!”
Safety Tips:
Always dilute with a carrier oil before applying to the skin.
Avoid eyes, mucous membranes, and inner ears.
Only ingest oils that are clearly labeled for internal use (like doTERRA's).
Final Thoughts
Peppermint is a must-have for every natural wellness toolkit—but quality is everything. With doTERRA, you're not only getting exceptional benefits, you're also choosing an oil that's pure, potent, and responsibly sourced.
