Spearmint is a perennial plant that flourishes in temperate climates and has long been used in gums, candies, and dental products for its minty taste and breath-freshening properties. Its sweet, refreshing aroma is cleansing and uplifting, distinct from Peppermint's sharper, more intense profile.
Spearmint is different from Peppermint, making it a milder option for topical use on children and those with sensitive skin. Its chemical components, carvone and limonene, have energizing and uplifting properties, and it's long been valued for supporting digestion and reducing occasional stomach upset when taken internally.
Aromatically:
Diffuse 3-4 drops for a sense of focus and an uplifted mood, especially helpful after reading or studying for long stretches.
Topically:
Apply (diluted with a carrier oil) to help promote a sense of focus after mental fatigue.
Internally:
Dilute one drop in 4 fl. oz. of liquid to support digestion after a big meal, or add to a Veggie Capsule.
Diffuse it during a work or study session when you need to stay sharp. Apply it to your toothbrush before brushing for a fresh, minty boost to start the day. Reach for it internally after a heavier meal to help settle your stomach.
Focus Diffuser Blend
Diffuse 3-4 drops of Spearmint on its own, or combine with Lavender or Eucalyptus for a broader focus-and-clarity blend during your afternoon work block.
Brain fog hitting? Rub a drop (diluted) on the back of your neck for a quick refresh.
Derived from the leaf of a tall evergreen tree, Eucalyptus offers a soothing, cooling vapor thanks to its main chemical components, eucalyptol and alpha-terpineol. doTERRA's Eucalyptus is actually a blend of five different eucalyptus species selected for an optimized aroma and benefit profile.
Aromatically, Eucalyptus promotes feelings of a clear mind and relaxation. It also carries strong purifying properties, useful for the skin and for cleansing surfaces and the air. Its cooling, camphoraceous aroma makes it a favorite for freshening up stuffy summer air.
