Mentha piperita L., a perennial herb, and Mentha arvensis var. piperascens, a member of the Labiatae family, are used to make peppermint oil. Numerous well-known essential oil species, including spearmint, basil, lavender, rosemary, sage, marjoram, and thyme, belong to this family. Known for its numerous therapeutic benefits, including analgesic, anesthetic, antiseptic, astringent, carminative, decongestant, expectorant, nervine, stimulant, stomachic, inflammatory diseases, ulcer, and stomach problems, this plant is highly valued in many indigenous medical systems. This review provides a thorough and current examination of the chemistry, pharmacology, analysis, and applications of peppermint oil. The culinary and pharmaceutical sectors have paid increased attention to the medicinal plant peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) due to its positive effects on human health. This article uses theoretical research to assess the molecular structure of peppermint molecules. Yes, an assessment of peppermint's health advantages was done. Two peppermints substances that appeared to bind to the active site of the aryl amine N-acetyltransferase enzyme were cineol and menthyl acetate, according to our molecular docking analysis. The inhibition of this enzyme by these substances is indicated by this kind of interaction. Popular plant Mentha piperita comes in a variety of forms (i.e., oil, leaf, leaf extract, and leaf water). The most versatile oil is peppermint oil, and usage statistics for this oil are also thought to be pertinent to compositions using leaf extracts. This herbal preparation is utilized for its taste and fragrance qualities in meals, pharmaceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and personal hygiene products. The aroma of peppermint oil is crisp and strong, and it tastes strongly before providing a cooling effect. It is also utilized in mouthwashes, toothpastes, aromatherapy products, bath preparations, and topical treatments due to its many medicinal qualities. Peppermint oil formulations applied topically have been used to reduce inflammation and itch.
