About spearmint (Mentha spicata):

Spearmint (Mentha spicata), also known as green mint, is a perennial plant from the mint family (Lamiaceae) native to Europe and Asia. The essential oil is extracted from the leaves by steam distillation and contains valuable constituents such as carvone (50-70%), limonene, and 1,8-cineole. Unlike peppermint, spearmint contains little to no menthol, making it milder, sweeter, and more easily tolerated – especially by children. Spearmint has been traditionally used for centuries for digestive aids, oral hygiene, and as a spice.

Perfect for:

• Children aged 2 and over (diluted)
• Digestive support for children and adults
• Relief from nausea and travel sickness
• Mood boost and positive energy
• Gentle: refreshing atmosphere
• Culinary use in drinks and desserts
• Oral care and fresh breath
• A gentle alternative to peppermint

Aroma profile:

Spearmint has a sweet, mild, minty scent with fresh, herbaceous notes. The aroma is refreshing, mood-lifting, and gentler than peppermint. It blends beautifully with lavender, mandarin, lemon, grapefruit, basil, rosemary, and other citrus or herb oils.

Combination recommendations:

• For children: Spearmint + Lavender + Mandarin
• For digestion: Spearmint + ginger + fennel
• For a good mood: Spearmint + Grapefruit + Orange
• Refreshing blend: Spearmint + Lemon + Basil
• For energy: Spearmint + rosemary + lemon
• Summer freshness: Spearmint + Lime + Grapefruit

Spearmint for children:

Spearmint is one of the most child-friendly mint oils:

• Gentle & mild: No menthol – better tolerated than peppermint
• For children aged 2 and over: Safe to use when diluted.
• For abdominal pain: Dilute and massage onto the abdomen for relief.
• For nausea: Inhale for gentle relief.
• Pleasant scent: Children like the sweet mint scent.
• In the diffuser: For a fresh atmosphere in the children's room

Spearmint vs. Peppermint:

Although both are mint oils, there are important differences:

• Spearmint: Sweeter, milder, no menthol – for children aged 2 and up
• Peppermint: Stronger, cooling, contains menthol – not for children under 6 years
• Scent: Spearmint is sweeter and less intense
• Effect: Spearmint is gentler and more soothing.
• Uses: Spearmint for children and gentle application, peppermint for intensive effect

Spearmint oil is a refreshing addition to the kitchen – however, it's much more concentrated than fresh mint! One drop is often enough for an entire dish. Perfect for:

• Smoothies and protein shakes
• Tea and iced tea (especially Moroccan mint tea)
• Water and lemonade
• Desserts (chocolate, ice cream, sorbets)
• Yogurt and quark
• Salads (especially tabbouleh)
