Peppermint
Throat · Vishuddha · 741 Hz
Cool the head. Wake the breath.
The brightest cool note in our range — Mentha × piperita, the cross of water mint and spearmint that gives true peppermint its high menthol character. Steam-distilled from leaves grown in India and the American Pacific Northwest. Throat chakra at 741 Hz — the seat of clear voice and breath. One drop opens an afternoon. Two would dominate the room. Respect the cool.
