A hardy perennial mint with bright green serrated leaves, spearmint has served as an important medicinal herb for millennia. Originally native to the Mediterranean countries, it is now common in many parts of the world. The Bible records that the ancient Pharisees paid tithes to their Temple in anise, cumin and spearmint. The sixteenth century English herbalist Gerard quotes the Roman historian Pliny, “The smell of Mint does stir up the minde and the taste to a greedy desire of meate.” Beginning in about the fourteenth century, spearmint was used for whitening teeth, and its distilled oil is still used to flavor toothpaste and chewing gum, although it is not as commonly used as peppermint. Generally taken as a tea and added to other herbal mixtures for flavor. Also used in some culinary creations.

The essential oil and hydrosol have also been used for both culinary and flavoring purposes. One of the few EO that can be used neet.

NOTE: Use peppermint, not spearmint, for gallbladder complaints. In magick, Spearmint is ruled by Venus and Water. An excellent healing herb for inside and outside of the body.

Works well in spell mixed, baths and herbal blends. Can also be used in mixes to help induce sleep. Also works well in Love sachets!
