Product Reviews of NOW Foods Peppermint Oil, 1 ounces
Product Review: Pure stuff: Not for direct application
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the real thing. If you use as a flavoring you only need a couple of drops for a gallon.Product Review: Surprisingly high-quality
Summary: 5 Stars
I've always been a bit weary when I buy the cheapest brand of a certain item, but I'd had success with NOW products before (albeit not with NOW essential oils), so I decided to order it.
I've been using it for two months now, and as far I can tell, it is a high quality product. I've heard that peppermint oil should have a powerful scent and should burn the skin if applied liberally, and this product meets both of those criteria, so I have every reason to believe that this is the real stuff, and not diluted at all. I use it on my skin diluted with jojoba oil, and I use about half a cap's worth a day, so it should last me another couple months or so. It has an instant cooling effect that lasts for several hours, even after I wash it off (and I DO recommend that you wash it off unless you want to go around smelling like slightly rancid peppermint oil. This stuff is strong.)
I'd imagine that anybody who'd want to use it for aromatherapy purposes would love it just as much as I love to use it on my skin. It has a powerful, but a relaxing and pleasant, scent.
Overall, I am very pleased with this product, and I will be buying it again just as soon as I run out.
Product Review: TRY THE ENTERIC COATED SOFTGELS - AVOID STOMACH UPSET
Summary: 3 Stars
TRY THE ENTERIC COATED SOFTGELS - AVOID STOMACH UPSET
I have been taking enteric coated peppermint oil for years to help relieve stomach upset after meals. Often I combined it with Chamomile tea and the results were excellent and relief from cramping was achieved with 1 cup of tea and one 50 mg. oil of peppermint enteric coated soft-gel capsule. I thought I would try adding a droplet of peppermint oil into my chamomile tea and improve the outcome, possibly achieving the same results only quicker while improving the taste of the already tasty tea. Well, no such luck. The cramps were more severe and lasted for several hours. The next time I went back to the enteric coated soft-gels and the results were excellent, just like before. To be certain I decided to give the drops another try and again I felt an increase in the severity of the cramping along with a burning sensation from my throat to my stomach that began almost immediately. Frankly it made me a little scared. I felt compelled to research the matter and discovered that peppermint oil isolated is a volatile oil and like all volatile oils is somewhat toxic, which is why they are usually available in minute measured doses with enteric coating to protect one's stomach. Needless to say, I won't be trying it again and I will be happy to have the enteric coated gel-caps at hand along with a new appreciation for their gentle efficiency.
