The essential oil of sweet mint:
- Promotes digestion (it has the same dominant ingredient as dill or caraway ).
- Is anti-catarrhal and mucolytic.
- Helps to clear congested airways.
- Possesses calming properties in the cerebellum and medulla oblongata (according to P. Franchomme).
- Is astringent.
- Helps healing.
- Is an excellent tensor.
This essential oil is used:
- In culinary aromatherapy
- In cosmetic aromatherapy
- In diffusion (always in small part because it is qualified as masking agent, that is to say that it will reduce or mask the basic odor of your composition)
