Spearmint Essential Oil
Spearmint essential oil’s minty sweetness is not only refreshing but packed full of benefits.
A favourite among athletes, just like its cousin peppermint oil, spearmint oil can be used to improve breath flow and can help reduce exercise-related injuries by relaxing tight or strained muscles.

Whilst it is similar to the benefits of peppermint oil in many ways, spearmint has been found to have more of a relaxing effect than stimulating peppermint.
