Spearmint, scientifically known as Mentha spicata, is a perennial herbaceous plant widely grown across Europe, China, India and Southern Asia, deriving its name from its pointed leaves which look like spears. Spearmint is a pleasant-smelling species of mint, having a similar aroma to that of peppermint, but sweeter in taste due to its lower menthol content. Since it is less pungent, it is more suited for the infusion of drinks and dishes. Spearmint is commonly used in health-food products, several hygiene products such as toothpastes and mouthwashes, cosmetics, and in medicine due to its claimed therapeutic properties.

Spearmint is considered to be one of the most popular and invigorating types of tisanes enjoyed globally. It is a powerhouse of various nutritional components, rich in essential nutrients, antioxidants, phenols and flavonoids. The health benefits associated with its consumption are endless. Studies indicate that this herb may help alleviate symptoms of nausea and indigestion, gas, headaches, toothaches, cramps and sore throats. When applied topically to the skin, it may help reduce swelling associated with nerve or muscle pain. Recent research indicates that spearmint extracts may also help with improved learning and memory, and reduced facial hair growth.

Warning: While Spearmint is considered to be a mild tisane, always consult a doctor or seek medical advice when in doubt.
