China Warehouse Natural Spearmint Essential Oil Pure Spearmint Oil

Obtained from the Mentha spicata plant, spearmint is so-named because of the shape of its leaves. You may also know it as Garden Spearmint, Green Mint, Our Lady’s Mint, or Spire. It’s popular as a flavoring agent for a range of oral hygiene products like dental floss, mouthwash, dental picks, dental sticks, and toothpaste…and yes, even chewing gum. This is because it leaves you with a cool, tingling sensation in your mouth that makes it feel clean.

Spearmint is thought to be the oldest of the mint plant family with evidence of it being used to treat a range of conditions dating back thousands of years. A popular option is using spearmint essential oil for headaches, to relieve indigestion, bloating, gas, nausea, and to clear the voice.

Herbalists and physicians such as Pliny the Elder of Ancient Rome prescribed mint to revitalize the body. It was when spearmint was introduced into Britain in the 5th century that it became more officially known for its medicinal properties. These days we know that you can use spearmint essential oil for hair growth as well as to deal with respiratory issues, and even combat the common cold.
