Spearmint Essential Oil
The properties of spearmint essential oil are similar to peppermint, but its effects are less powerful. Spearmint essential oil is a perennial herb. It has a warm, spicy-herbaceous, mint odour. Spearmint is an ingredient in several drinks, such as the mojito and mint julep. Sweet tea, iced and flavored with spearmint, is a summer tradition in the Southern United States. It is used as a flavoring for toothpaste and confectionery, and is sometimes added to shampoos and soaps. In herbalism, spearmint is steeped as tea for the treatment of stomach ache.
Spearmint Essential Oil
Spearmint Essential Oil, steam-distilled from the fragrant leaves of the Mentha spicata plant, widely cultivated across the globe, offers a distinctly sweet, minty, and refreshing aroma, milder and sweeter than peppermint.
