General uses

Disinfectant

The antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties of essential oil of spearmint make it a disinfectant. It can help get rid of both internal and external infections. It is particularly effective in protecting internal wounds and ulcers, like those in the stomach, food pipe, and intestines. In ancient Greece, it was used to treat infectious diseases like scabies, dermatitis, athlete’s foot, syphilis, gonorrhea and other infectious or transmittable diseases.

Regulates Menstruation

Problems with menstruation, such as irregular periods, obstructed menses and early menopause can be solved with the help of this essential oil. It promotes the secretion of hormones like estrogen, which facilitates menstruation and ensures good uterine and sexual health. This also delays the onset of menopause and relieves certain symptoms associated with menstruation like nausea, fatigue, and pain in the lower abdominal region.

Carminative

The relaxing properties of spearmint oil help relax the intestines and muscles of the abdominal region, thereby allowing the gases formed in the stomach and the intestines to pass out of the body naturally. This provides relief from many health concerns, including uneasiness and restlessness, insomnia, headaches, stomach aches, indigestion, loss of appetite, chest pain, vomiting, cramps and other related symptoms.

Speeds Wound Healing

This oil works well as an antiseptic for wounds and ulcers as it prevents them from becoming septic while also helping them to heal faster. These antiseptic properties are due to the presence of components like menthol, myrcene, and caryophyllene.

Relieves Spasms

This property of essential oil of spearmint comes from its menthol content, which has a relaxing and cooling effect on the nerves and muscles and helps to relax contractions in the case of spasms. Therefore, it is frequently prescribed to provide effective relief from spasmodic coughs, aches, pulling sensations and aches in the abdominal region and intestines. This includes its ability to soothe muscle strains or cramps, nervous convulsions, and even spasmodic cholera.
