Spearmint

Spearmint

Mentha spicata

Many consider Spearmint to be a milder, gentler form of Peppermint. Although their properties are similar, the two oils are slightly different chemically, with Spearmint having lower amounts of menthol. Because of this it is not quite as intense, and therefore better suited for use with children and the elderly, and yet is equally as effective.*


Spearmint has proven antibacterial and antifungal topical applications for skin infections, cleansing the pores, and refreshing the skin. It is relaxing to muscles and nerves, which can relieve spasmodic coughs, abdominal aches, and muscles cramps, and is a mild diuretic. It is also been shown to be effective as an insecticide and keeps away mosquitoes, ants, flies, moths, etc.*
