Spearmint
(Mentha spica)
Spearmint is a favorite flavor for
gums and mints because of its refreshing and cleansing
taste. However, this herb has been used for centuries
for its therapeutic properties. The Greeks not only used
it to scent their bath water, but as a restorative as
well. In medieval times, spearmint was used to heal sore
gums and whiten teeth. Today, spearmint is a favorite
flavoring agent, and it is also a valued aromatic.
Spearmint helps with digestive problems, headaches,
respiratory health , and skin problems. Its fresh, minty
aroma is invigorating and energizing, making it a
wonderful scent to come home to and recharge after a
demanding, stressful day.
