Spearmint (Mentha spicata) Essential Oil

Spearmint (Mentha spicata) Essential Oil – The Sweet Invigorator

Spearmint essential oil is steam-distilled from the flowering tops and leaves of the Mentha spicata plant. Known for its distinct sweet, soft, and gentle mint aroma (milder than Peppermint), this oil is often called the “Oil of Gentle Upliftment”. It is treasured for its ability to clear the mind without overstimulating, soothe digestive discomfort, and its inviting fragrance used widely in both aromatherapy and flavor applications.

Sourced from global regions where it thrives in moist, temperate climates, our Spearmint is harvested when the plant reaches its peak aromatic maturity. The fresh material is carefully distilled to produce a pure oil, rich in the compound carvone. This component gives Spearmint its characteristic sweetness, its mild cooling effect, and its renown for comforting the stomach. Unlike its stronger cousin, Peppermint, Spearmint contains very little menthol, making it the ideal choice for those seeking a gentler, softer mint experience.

Historically, Spearmint has been used for millennia across various cultures—from the Greeks and Romans using it to perfume bath water to its long-standing use in traditional European and American herbalism as a classic digestive aid. Today, its sweet, uplifting aroma is perfect for encouraging focus in children, calming an anxious mind, or adding a fresh, clean scent to household preparations.
