Spearmint essential oil helps support people with a lack of self-confidence. It protects them against their own judgement and the criticism of others.
Spearmint is used in recipes made with meat or salads or to flavor desserts, beverages and candies. It is the main ingredient in Moroccan mint tea and tabbouleh, typical dishes from North Africa.
The diffusion of spearmint essential oil is more pleasant in synergy with another essential oil (diluted at 15 %).
It is very much used in making toothpaste and mouthwash for its freshness.
