Aside from its refreshing and commonly recognized flavor, Spearmint has a wide range of impressive benefits. You’ve most likely experienced spearmint flavor in candy, toothpaste, chewing gum, or tea. It’s sweet, refreshing aroma helps evoke a positive mood. When taken internally, this essential oil has an ability to ease occasional stomach upset and support overall digestive health.
