Background and Use
The best use of this herb is as a wonderful refreshing tea. The custom of having a mint following a meal dates back to ancient Rome and has been a favorite natural remedy for indigestion since that era. Spearmint was not used formally in medicine until the mid-18th century, and to this date remains the most widely used essential oil. The Spearmint leaves can be substituted for fresh leaves when the fresh is not available. A refreshing steam treatment can be prepared using Spearmint leaves. The skin and the respiratory system will benefit from this refreshing use of this herb.
