SPEARMINT OIL
Spearmint gets its name from its spear-shaped leaves. Spearmint is believed to be the oldest plant of the Mint family and has been used traditionally for its digestive benefits. Spearmint has earned the nickname “The Gentler Mint Oil,” as its scent is softer and its effects are milder than those of Peppermint Essential Oil, making it ideal for children, the elderly, and those with sensitive skin.
