Description
Spearmint contains less than 1% menthol, meaning spearmint is known for having a more delicate flavor and fragrance compared to Peppermint. The flavor is often described as sweet and minty, and is often preferred by children over peppermint. Similar in properties to peppermint leaf, spearmint leaf has been used for minor ailments such as headaches, minor congestion, digestive problems, including nausea, flatulence, and hiccups as it relaxes the stomach muscles. On the skin, when used as cream or lotion, it may help relieve itching, dermatitis, and hives. In women, it may help reduce unwanted hairs through its anti-androgenic properties. Can also be used externally for baths, ointments, chest rub, massage oil.*
Organic: Spearmint leaf (Mentha x spicata), organically cultivated in USA.
