What is it used for?
Menthol is one of the chemicals found in many mint plants that give them their distinctive ‘minty-ness’. It is a powerfully refreshing and invigorating scent commonly used in balms and chest rubs. It can help with congestion and poor bronchial function. Menthol is also a powerful analgesic and helps control pain in sore muscles and joints.
