Botanical Name: Mentha spicata

100% Pure therapeutic grade essential oil

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) is a hardy branched perennial with bright green leaves and pinkish colored flowers on slender spikes. It is a milder mint than peppermint. It is native to the Mediterranean, and now common in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East. The oil is produced in the U.S., China, Hungary, Spain, and other places. Spearmint oil is produced from the plant’s flowers through steam distillation. The oil is a pale yellow or olive colored, thin consistency, with a warm, spicy-herbaceous, minty aroma.

Spearmint essential oil works well in the digestive system, helping with nausea, vomiting and flatulence. It supports conditions of the respiratory system like asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis while helping boost your immune system to fight colds, and flu. While you're at it give your nervous system a relaxing break too. Spearmint is great at helping relieve fatigue, migraines and nervous stresses.

It blends well with Basil, Eucalyptus, Jasmine, Dill, Lavender, Lemon, Rosemary, Orange, Peppermint and other oils. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-sensitizing. Spearmint is considered safe for use on children, and can be considered as a substitute for peppermint in blend.
