Menthol originates naturally from mint plants, and synthetically manufactured. Peppermint oil and other mint essential oils contain menthol, and it can be taken directly from the essential oil. It is traced back to the 1700’s, but the Japanese have claimed to use the product since before that time.

Most Common Uses of Menthol:

Menthol is most commonly used for inflammation and irritation. It can be used on the outside of skin to help heal redness and scaring, and also it is ingested for throat and mouth irritation. Furthermore, it is used as an ingredient in perfume, as a pesticide, mouthwash, and within many other bath and beauty products. Lastly it is used as an active ingredient in many topical analgesics to relieve muscle pain.

I boil a pot of water and add 1 tsp of Menthol Crystals to relieve decongestion from a cold or allergies and it works FANTASTIC!.

Menthol Crystals are a part of the menthol family such as Peppermint, Rosemary, Eucalyptus and Lavender and therefore has magical properties as the rest of the mint family. It is very uplifting to the senses and can be used for purification. The best way to incorporate this into your spell work is by adding a pinch at a time in hot water and breathe in the menthol fumes (carefully). I have coughed once or twice by inhaling too fast. Menthol Crystals can be used just like Peppermint in your rituals/spells.

For safety measures and by the rules of ETSY these menthol crystals are for EXTERNAL USE ONLY!
