Product Description

Feel refreshed and uplifted with the clean, cooling scent of Cornmint Essential Oil. Closely related to Peppermint, this essential oil has a distinct minty scent that’s sweeter and gentler than other mint varieties yet higher in natural menthol.

Thanks to its menthol content, Cornmint is a powerful analgesic that helps numb pain and soothes sore muscles, stiff joints, cramps, headaches, and chest congestion. It has a cooling, tingling effect that stimulates local nerves and helps your body release tension, discomfort, and inflammation. Try Cornmint oil as an all-natural, chemical-free alternative to muscle balm liniments like Icy Hot and BenGay. 

When used in aromatherapy, Cornmint essential oil benefits include reducing stress and anxiety, promoting memory and concentration, and increasing energy levels. The crisp scent of this essential oil helps you tune out distractions, including mental chatter and environmental stimuli like noisy neighbors, while promoting emotional stability.

Cornmint essential oil infuses a delightful minty-fresh aroma into your custom cleaning concoctions, such as homemade hand sanitizers, kitchen tile scrubs, hand and floor soaps, as well as furniture polish. Harnessing the power of Corn mint, these DIY solutions not only leave your surroundings smelling splendid but also boast potent antimicrobial and antifungal properties. This natural wonder aids in the purification and sanitization of surfaces, combating bacteria, viruses, mold spores, mildew, and fungi. Elevate the ambiance of any space by diffusing Corn mint, rejuvenating it with its refreshing and deodorizing qualities.
