essential oil

Peppermint contains several active constituents, including 1,8-cineole, beta-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, limonene, menthol and menthone. Its menthol content is the reason the oil is found in so many dental products, such as toothpaste and mouthwash. This compound is also responsible for producing a warming effect in balms and chest rubs.
