Exercise Performance:
[AROMATHERAPY] This randomized controlled human study showed that inhalation of pure peppermint essential oil triggered an immediate and significant increase in grip strength (by 36.1%), vertical jump (7%), and standing long jump (6.4%), and increased lung capacity and flow rate by 66%, while also significantly improving visual and auditory reaction times.
[AROMATHERAPY] This systematic review of randomized controlled human studies showed that inhalation of pure peppermint essential oil stimulates and strengthens, improves concentration, and enhances lung function and physical performance
Fat Loss:
[INTERNAL] This in-vitro study showed ingesting pure peppermint essential oil provides anti-obesity benefits by strongly inhibiting enzymes associated with fat gain, including pancreatic lipase.
Heart Rate Variability:
[AROMATHERAPY] This randomized controlled human study showed that inhalation of pure peppermint essential oil significantly increased heart rate variability and enhanced cardiopulmonary regulation, both during exercise and at rest.
Cognitive Performance:
[AROMATHERAPY] This randomized controlled human study showed that inhaling pure peppermint essential oil via a diffuser while going to sleep improved cognitive performance and memory by 226%, and triggered measurable neural enhancement of the left uncinate fasciculus in fMRI scans (a part of the brain associated with language learning and memory).
[AROMATHERAPY] This randomized controlled human study showed that inhaling pure peppermint essential oil significantly enhanced memory, attention, processing speed and accuracy, and alertness, while reducing stress and improving the subjective sense of well-being.
Migraines / Headaches:
[TOPICAL] This double-blind randomized controlled human study showed that topical treatment with pure peppermint essential oil (spread across the forehead and temples) is equally or more effective than 1,000mg of acetaminophen in reducing tension headache pain, and it’s effects are faster-acting while lasting just as long.
[TOPICAL] This double-blind randomized controlled human study showed that topical treatment with pure peppermint essential oil was significantly more effective than NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, like acetaminophen) in reducing migraine headache pain and pain sensitivity. It also improves cognitive performance during headaches, reduces emotional irritability, and physically relaxes the head muscles.
Pain Relief:
[TOPICAL] This double-blind randomized controlled human study showed that topical treatment with pure peppermint essential oil significantly reduced pain and improved outcomes in patients undergoing a colonoscopy
Mood:
[TOPICAL] This randomized controlled human study showed that inhaling pure peppermint essential oil significantly improved subjective mood and increased alertness.
Digestion:
[INTERNAL] This randomized controlled human study showed that ingesting pure peppermint essential oil significantly sped up the digestion and clearing of food from the stomach.
Stomach Pain / Gas:
[INTERNAL] This double-blind randomized controlled human study showed that ingesting pure peppermint essential oil significantly reduced stomach pain, gas and bloating, and reduced all symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by over 50%.
[INTERNAL] This systematic review of randomized controlled human studies showed that ingestion of pure peppermint essential oil is a highly effective treatment for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Nausea:
[AROMATHERAPY] This randomized controlled human study is one of several that have showed that inhaling pure peppermint essential oil significantly reduces nausea symptoms, in this case post-surgery.
Skin Health / Nursing:
[TOPICAL] This randomized controlled human study is showed that topical application of diluted pure peppermint essential oil prevented nipple cracks and reduced pain in nursing women, and did so significantly more effectively than expressed breast milk. A similar study showed that peppermint oil was also more effective at preventing cracks and pain than lanolin ointment.
Alzheimer’s:
[INTERNAL] This in-vitro study showed that ingesting pure peppermint essential oil may help prevent Alzheimer’s disease by inhibiting the cholinesterase enzyme.
Mechanisms of Action:
Peppermint essential oil’s primary bioactive component is menthol, although it achieves its remarkable effects through various mechanisms of action on different body systems. For example, peppermint’s pain-relieving properties are due to its ability to shut down head and pain pathways in the nervous system and activate cooling sensory neurons. It is also a carminative agent, which is how it achieves its digestive effects.
