Organic Spearmint is the common name for the plant Menta spicata. The essential oil of spearmint is obtained from steam distillation of its leaves and has a slightly sweeter aroma than peppermint.

Organic spearmint essential oil is used in aromatherapy to regulate breathing, enhance mental clarity, and improve memory. It also has beneficial effects for weakness, lethargy, nausea, fever, and headaches.

Organic spearmint essential oil is a colorless to yellow liquid. It has a fresh, cool scent accompanied by cumin notes. The essential oil dissolves easily in alcohol (1:1.5, 80% ethanol), vegetable oils, and other essential oils but is almost insoluble in water. The main component is (-)-carvone, with smaller concentrations of limonene and linalool.

The constituents of organic spearmint essential oil also have medicinal properties. As an essential oil that is not refrigerated, spearmint is suitable for treating colds. It acts against acute and chronic bronchitis and runny nose as an expectorant when inhaled, applied as a poultice, or used in a bath oil. Additionally, spearmint essential oil facilitates digestion and bile flow. Therefore, it can be used for gastritis, nausea, and abdominal massage in the bladder area, for circulatory issues, as a spot wrap, or in bath oil. For scars and wounds, spearmint essential oil can promote healing through its epithelial properties when used as a poultice, massage oil, or bath oil. If itching occurs, spearmint essential oil can be used as an ointment or oil to prevent inflammation of the affected areas.

In aromatherapy, organic spearmint essential oil is valued for its balancing, soothing, and exfoliating effects. For mental and physical exhaustion, symptoms related to stress, and general tension, spearmint essential oil can be used as a room fragrance, massage oil, bath oil, or inhalation bottle. It can also help with memory weakness and lack of concentration.
