Spearmint comes from the same family as Peppermint and has many of the same properties. It has a slightly softer, fruitier scent than peppermint and can be a wonderful substitute if you find the aroma of Peppermint too overpowering.
Spearmint is very beneficial for helping to relieve digestive disturbances such as nausea, morning sickness, upset stomach, gas and bloating.
Its uplifting, crisp aroma can help soothe and calm emotions, elevate the mood, promote relaxation and reduce stress and tension in the body and mind. It will invigorate your senses, improve concentration, and also helps relieve headaches like its cousin Peppermint.
