All varieties of Mint possess similar properties, though what makes Spearmint different is that it does not contain any Menthol and therefore does not have that characteristic cold feeling that is associated with Peppermint. The plant grows to about three feet with wrinkle and spiked leaves.
Spearmint essential oil, used carefully adds an incredible sophistication to your aromatherapy blends. A fresh and uplifting oil.

Characteristics of Spearmint Essential Oil
A sweeter version of Peppermint, with undertones of Grapefruit, give Spearmint it's very characteristic scent.
Common Uses of Spearmint Essential Oil
Grapefruit can help boost energy levels, reduce stress and ease body and mind. Regularly Grapefruit is found in detox blends due to its ability to stimulate healthy circulation. Great for hair use and blends wonderfully with oil such as Lavender.
Skin
Spearmint essential oil is a natural antimicrobial and antibacterial agent. This makes it highly effective in combating skin infections and preventing the growth of harmful bacteria on the skin. If you're prone to acne or other skin blemishes, incorporating spearmint essential oil into your skincare routine can help keep your skin clear and healthy.
Inflammation is a common culprit behind many skin issues, including redness, swelling, and irritation. Spearmint essential oil contains compounds like carvone and limonene, which have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds can soothe inflamed skin and reduce redness, making it ideal for sensitive skin types.
Antioxidants are crucial for protecting the skin against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. Spearmint essential oil is rich in antioxidants, which help neutralise free radicals and prevent premature aging. Regular use can lead to firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Spearmint essential oil acts as a natural astringent, tightening the skin and closing pores. This helps reduce the appearance of pores and gives your skin a smoother, more refined texture. It's particularly beneficial for those with oily skin, as it helps control excess sebum production.
Mind
Spearmint essential oil boasts natural muscle-relaxing properties that can help alleviate tension and discomfort. Whether you're dealing with post-workout soreness or the strains of a long day, a few drops of spearmint oil can work wonders.
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory compounds, spearmint essential oil can reduce inflammation in muscles and joints. This makes it an excellent choice for those who suffer from chronic discomfort or inflammation-related conditions.
Applying spearmint essential oil topically can improve blood circulation. Better circulation means more oxygen and nutrients are delivered to your muscles, promoting faster recovery and reducing fatigue.
Say goodbye to flaky, itchy scalp conditions! Spearmint essential oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that help combat dandruff and soothe irritated scalps. By maintaining a clean and balanced scalp environment, it keeps dandruff at bay.
An oily scalp can be frustrating, but spearmint essential oil helps regulate sebum production. This ensures your scalp remains balanced—neither too oily nor too dry—creating the perfect conditions for healthy hair.
Spearmint essential oil nourishes your hair from the roots to the tips, adding a natural shine and strengthening each strand. Its antioxidants work to repair damage and protect against environmental stressors, leaving your hair looking glossy and vibrant.
