Profile

Mentha spicata is a robust perennial plant with bright green, sharply pointed, toothed, lance-shaped leaves. It is one of the most common garden mints. Spearmint Essential Oil is steam distilled from the leaves of a perennial herb grown largely in the USA. The color of the oil is pale olive or pale yellow. It has a warm, spicy, herbaceous, minty aroma. 

FACT: Spearmint was used as a tonic and scent by ancient Greeks who used it in their bath water. In medieval times it was popular for healing sore gums and whitening teeth. The distilled water is said to have helped relieve hiccups, colic, nausea, and indigestion.
