Uses

The cooling sensation produced by this compound, along with its anesthetic and counterirritant properties, has led to its use in products intended to relieve skin irritation, sore throat, or nasal congestion. It may be used to treat sunburn, fever, or muscle aches as well. Most products used to relieve these conditions contain only small amounts of the compound. Pure crystals, however, can be used with warm water to relieve cold symptoms through the release of vapor. It should be used with caution, as inhalation in excessive amounts can cause pain in the nasal passages.

In traditional Asian medicine, menthol is sometimes prescribed to treat nausea, diarrhea, indigestion, headache, cold or sore throat. When used as a supplement for health reasons, it is usually taken in the form of peppermint oil. Products that commonly contain it include toothpaste, cough drops, lip balm, mouthwash and chewing gum.

Menthol is sometimes added to cigarettes to improve flavor and give a sensation of coolness. There is evidence that people who smoke these cigarettes are more likely to suffer from serious health problems, although it is not generally thought that this is due to any direct effects of the chemical. A relatively recent use for the compound is as a natural pesticide. It is an active ingredient in some products used to control mite infestations on honeybees. Used at the right concentration, it is effective in killing the mites, but not harmful to the bees. As of 2013, given the level of interest in the use of natural products in the control of pests, this compound may find further similar uses.
