Peppermint oil, and menthol crystals prepared from it, are very extensively used in medicine and are said to be excellent carminative, gastric stimulant, antiseptic and preservative. These find great use in the preparation of dental creams, mouth washes, tooth pastes and chewing gums, and as flavouring material in confectionery. All essential oils, like peppermint oil, are aromatic oils prepared from vegetable sources, and are capable of volatilisation without decomposition, and are practically insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents.
