Organic Spearmint is a steam distilled with a very distinct and refreshing aroma that is instantly recognizable. It's a perennial plant that grows 11–40 inches tall and flourishes in temperate climates. The oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of tranquility. Used topically, Spearmint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favorite in massage therapy.
Spearmint is widely used in gums, candies, and dental products for its minty taste, and to promote fresh breath. Its also used in salads, drinks, and desserts, but it can also be used in homemade salad dressings and to marinate meats. Spearmint has been used for centuries for its digestive benefits. Known to evoke a sense of focus and a positive mood, Spearmint is a favorite among users when diffused or applied topically. Spearmint is very different from Peppermint, making it a milder option to use on children and those with sensitive skin.
