Obtained from the leaves, flowering tops, and stem of the Spearmint plant, the Spearmint Essential Oil is one of the important oils of the mint family. The leaves of this plant resemble a spear and therefore, it has been named 'Spearmint'. In India, the Spearmint plant has been used for a very long time and its medicinal use is described in the sacred texts of 'Ayurveda' as well.
Spearmint is used to flavor candies and gums, this essential oil is formulated only for topical use. Also, you need to dilute it sufficiently with the help of carrier oil before applying it to your skin as it is much concentrated and powerful. People who find Peppermint essential oil to be overwhelming can try the Spearmint essential oil instead. Some people even like to blend both these oils for aromatherapy, massage, and other purposes.
Organic Spearmint essential oil is milder than Peppermint because it contains a lower concentration of menthol that is mainly responsible for the fresh minty aroma both these oils have. As no chemicals and additives have been used in this oil, you can incorporate it into your daily skin and hair care routine.
