Pennyroyal Essential Oil 100% PURE, THERAPEUTIC GRADE ESSENTIAL OIL |
|
COMMON NAME | Pennyroyal |
BOTANICAL NAME | Mentha pulegium |
PLANT PARTS USED | Leaves |
EXTRACTION METHOD | Distillation |
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN | Morocco |
Pennyroyal oil is somewhat controversial due to it supposed ability to induce menstruation and labour. However, no evidence suggests that this is accurate other than anecdotal reports. What is true is that the oil contains the toxic compound Pulegone which can be fatal if ingested in sufficient quantities. As such this oil must not be consumed and should not be used topically during pregnancy. | |
![]() Today the most common use for Pennyroyal is as a natural flea repellant for dogs and horses, but not cats (it will interfere with a cats nervous system). It is commonly used in combination with Lemon Scented Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus citriodora) and Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) for this purpose. |
|
BLENDS WELL WITH Citronella, Geranium, Lavender, Lemon Scented Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Sage. |

Pleasant fragrance, works well
Used it to discourage mites - seems to be doing the job. I like the smell, bugs don't.
Exactly as described. Quick delivery. Great packaging.
