                        All About Balm Mint Bush

                        Balm Mint Bush is an Australian evergreen shrub whose essential oil is high in piperitone, 1,8-cineole, alpha pinene, and linalool. It is used for respiratory complaints, likely related to the 1,8-cineol, and may have a calming effect, related to the linalool that gives it a floral note.
