Wild Mint - Essential Oil
type: Product
description: THE COOLEST, MIGHTIEST MINT Freshly minted, Wild Mint is the rugged, high-altitude ancestor of the mint family. While our Yakima and Willamette Peppermints offer a cultivated, minty sweetness, Wild Mint (Mentha arvensis) is the wild child native to the peaks of Nepal. This is not a hybrid; it is a primal botanical force that has flourished in the wild for millennia. Historically known as Pudina in the Himalayan foothills, this species is the original source from which the world first discovered the clarifying, crystalline power of natural menthol. In the ancient Ayurvedic tradition, it was the preferred herbal for Siro-Roga (headaches) and Svasa (respiratory congestion), acting as a high-ground herald of health. In the lineage of mints, Wild Mint sits at the throne of mint-intensity.

The Pure Essence vs. The Industrial Isolate Wild Mint is the overachiever of the mint world when it comes to menthol. The plant's high 58%+ menthol content makes it a cost-effective source for pharmaceutical and confectionery industries that harvest Wild Mint as a "menthol-mine," stripping the essence of its crystalline-menthol-spirit. This industrial refining process chills the oil until the menthol "freezes" into solid, needle-like crystals, which are spun out in a centrifuge. As an ingredient, the isolated crystals are combined into petrochemical bases with synthetic scent-chemicals for drugstore chest-rubs and cough drops. This crystal-extraction leaves behind "Dementholized Mint Oil" (DMO), a hollowed-out byproduct. This depleted figment is sold to the fragrance and flavor industry and marketed a…
