Organic Spearmint

Mentha spicata, commonly known as spearmint, is more than a proliferous garden herb; it is an ancient healing botanical used to bring calm, cool balance to the body and mind. Spearmint is particularly good for easing and purifying the digestive system.

Did you know that Aristotle forbid soldiers to ingest mint before battle because it calmed their nerves and dissipated their will to fight? This joyful and aromatic botanical was named after the nymph, Minthe, who had the heart of Pluto and so was turned into an herb by Persephone in a fit of jealousy. Though he could not rescue her, Pluto ensured that she would have a scent that would permeate the garden.

Also known to hold the energetic frequency of abundance, protection and activation, spearmint is a but sweeter and less piquant than her spicier sister, peppermint.

This whole leaf spearmint, organically grown in Oregon, was not milled. Rather, it was hand- harvested and uncut to maintain its potency and vibrance.
