Peppermint
Peppermint oil has a high concentration of natural pesticides.It is known to repel some pest insects, including mosquitos, and has uses in organic gardening. The leaves and flowering tops are used; they are collected as soon as the flowers begin to open and can be dried.

They may be allowed to lie and wilt a little before distillation, or they may be taken directly to the still.
Peppermint oil and leaves have a cooling effect when used topically for muscle pain, nerve pain, relief from itching, or as a fragrance.Peppermint is often used as an exfoliant in soap, but paired with peppermint essential oil, it can create a very invigorating start to the morning.
