History: The ancient Greeks used Spearmint to scent their bath water. It also had a reputation for curing sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, and for whitening teeth and healing sore gums. This might be credited to it’s ability to mimic a local anesthetic.

This EO smells really nice. I mix it with peppermint, and end up with a candy cane like smell. Along with peppermint, it seems to repel (and even kill) bugs. I have a collection of oils mixed for when we take the dog out on hikes in the woods. The dogs smells great, and doesn't have any ticks. A perfect situation.

Yummy minty scent! Relaxing to me, in contrast to the stimulating effects of peppermint. I love it blended with citrus and lavender scents, and it makes a great relaxing blend in a scent ball to get to sleep.
