Safety Tips for Using Peppermint Oil 

In the context of the science of secondary metabolites, peppermint oil is normally deemed not to cause any harm to the majority of people. Always take precautions, however. To this I would recommend you to make a patch test. Just take one drop on a small portion of your skin, leave it on there a few hours and ensure there is no adverse effect. Continuing past such a trial period when hypersensitivity develops should be avoided. Moreover, peppermint oil must not be used in case of pregnancy at all and by people with extremely sensitive skin.

Side Effects & Precautions

( Fellow employees, in case of handling peppermint oil, I will recommend that you dilute the material as much as possible to avoid irritations. Moreover, I would encourage people to be cautious of touching their ocular regions or other delicate areas of skin because this precaution may be highly sensible in direct application of the oil. Always do a skin patch test first before making a first application and, on ethical grounds, I would not use it on children under six years of age.)
