It is not safe to drink essential oils. A person can physically drink the oils, but the side effects can be harmful, depending on the oil type and amount consumed.
yes you could but it would not be good.
GNC probably carries peppermint oil.
Walmart sells peppermint oil for baking, peppermint oil softgels, and peppermint extract. See the related links for the product listings on Walmart.com.
Peppermint is not recommended as a bath oil. The peppermint essential oil can cause stinging, or dermatitis. When peppermint essential oil is included in mixtures intended for topical use it is drastically diluted with an inert carrier oil.
The chemical formula for peppermint is exactly C10H20O1
It appears that peppermint oil, not peppermint extract, works better to get rid of mice. This is because the extract contains more alcohol than peppermint oil, so it will not be as strong as the oil itself.
Yes. Spearmint and peppermint are not.
Actually peppermint oil won't hurt the skin(unless you have very sensitive skin), people use peppermint oil in spas so you should be okay if a little peppermint oil gets on your skin or you could simply wash it off.
Yes you can its 1/4 a tsp of oil for 1 tsp of extract
Yes, the potency would be number one difference. The type of peppermint is another difference. The way it was cultivated and distilled is another difference. Visit my site www.youngliving.org/raqad for more details.
no
I would strongly, strongly recommend NOT drinking peppermint extract, doing so for health purposes could be DANGEROUS. Large Internal Doses such as drinking peppermint extract could cause severe kidney damage, irregluar heartbeats, miscarriages in pregnant women. Peppermint extract is a diluted version of the peppermint oil which is 100% oil and the most prodominate active ingredient is menthol. CAUTION: Pure Peppermint should not be ingested and Pure Menthol can be FATAL in as small a dose as 1 tsp. You can use drops of peppermint extract (and even the peppermint oil in a smaller amount) to freshen your breath or add to water or tea. It is used in cooking baked goods, desserts, candy, in dietary supplements.
YES
