Description
Mentha spicata
Spearmint Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves and flowering tops of the spearmint plant. It possesses a fresh, sweet, minty aroma that is softer and gentler than peppermint. Just a drop or two of Spearmint Essential Oil can add uplifting freshness to any blend while providing digestive and respiratory support without the intense cooling effect of peppermint.
Spearmint Essential Oil can be useful in diffuser blends intended to help ease mental fatigue, headaches, and respiratory congestion. It is valued for its digestive and antispasmodic properties and is often used in diluted topical applications to help relieve nausea, indigestion, muscle aches, and nervous tension. Spearmint is generally gentler than peppermint and may be better tolerated by children and sensitive individuals when properly diluted.
Emotionally, Spearmint Essential Oil is uplifting and refreshing, helping to ease mental exhaustion, promote focus and optimism, relieve stress, and bring feelings of renewed energy, clarity, and lightheartedness.
