Spearmint Essential Oil

Spearmint can be found in various hygiene products, including gum, toothpaste, and mouthwash. Many people are familiar with spearmint as a powerful breath freshener, but its numerous benefits have been used for generations to provide digestive benefits.

The scent is minty, slightly fruity, and softer than Peppermint. The smell is incredibly refreshing and safe enough to use for mint lovers of all ages.

Spearmint essential oil aids digestion and is frequently served during or after meals to ease indigestion, bloating, gas, and nausea.

Spearmint is a perennial herb that can grow up to 3 feet tall. It thrives in moderate conditions, such as those found on its native continents of Asia and Europe.

The energizing and pleasant scent has uplifting sound effects. It is beneficial for enhancing concentration, increasing optimism, and deodorizing undesirable odors.

Spearmint essential oil has a refreshing scent that makes it great for diffusing while working or studying. In addition, it improves attention and alleviates tension and anxiety.

Spearmint is known as a “Gentler Mint Oil” since its aroma is softer and milder than Peppermint. It is especially suitable for older people, children, and persons with sensitive skin.
