Spearmint essential oil is the gentle mint of the dōTERRA range, the mint of chewing gum, sweets and mint tea. It owes to carvone a sweet, rounded taste, without the sharp chill of the menthol that dominates Peppermint.
A drop flavours homemade lemonade, cookie dough, a fruit salad or a marinade, and it pairs well with Basil, Rosemary or Lavender. Milder than Peppermint, it takes its place when Peppermint feels too strong. In the diffuser, its invigorating aroma accompanies a work session; a drop on the toothbrush leaves fresh breath, and diluted in a carrier oil, it gives the skin a cooling sensation during a massage.
The everyday mint, from the kitchen to the bathroom.
- Gives off a minty, sweet and invigorating aroma, milder than that of Peppermint.
- Gives drinks, desserts and salads a sweet mint flavour.
- Helps clean the teeth and leaves fresh breath.
- Gives the skin a cooling sensation during a massage.
