Benefits of Spearmint Essential Oil

Spearmint - Not Just for Chewing Gum

One of the things I love about soap making is the possibility of mixing and creating a vast variety of fragrances to go into my soaps.  One of my favorites is combing the sweetness of citrus with the stimulating freshness of spearmint oil.  LOVE IT!!!  

Here are a few of the benefits that spearmint oil is said to have:

• helps with headaches, migraines, stress, and tired muscles
• useful with digestion problems as it relaxes the stomach muscles and relieves hiccups
• helps with respiratory ailments such as asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis
• natural pain reliever for toothaches
• anti-flammatory effects helps heal irritated skin
