Peppermint essential oil is obtained by distilling the plant Mentha piperita, a hybrid
mint resulting from the cross between water mint (Mentha aquatica) and spearmint
(Mentha spicata). The exact origin of this natural hybridization is not known, but it is
believed to have occurred in Europe several centuries ago. Peppermint is then
grown in many parts of the world.
