The Plant
Plant part: Aerial Part
Origin: France
Spearmint is a herbaceous perennial of the Lamiaceae family, very common in our gardens, reaching 60 cm to 1 m in height. Native to temperate western Asia and southeastern Europe, it has since become acclimatized in many countries around the world.
Grown in our gardens, it has a sweet, penetrating fragrance, milder than peppermint, reminiscent of chlorophyll chewing gum. It is soothing, invigorating and refreshing.
Thanks to its terpene content, particularly carvone and limonene, spearmint is mainly used in aromatherapy for its digestive benefits.
What are the benefits of Green Mint?
Green Mint is a true natural ally for your digestion. Thanks to its antispasmodic properties, Green Mint helps to relax the stomach muscles and reduce intestinal gas responsible for bloating. Green Mint facilitates digestion by stimulating the production of bile, essential for breaking down fats and absorbing nutrients. It can also help to relieve nausea and stomach aches. It’s a great way to naturally and gently relieve various gastrointestinal disorders.
By incorporating Green Mint into your diet, whether in the form of herbal tea, essential oil, or by adding fresh leaves to your dishes, you can enjoy its benefits for better digestion and a soothed stomach.
