Azure Spearmint Leaves, Oregon’s Wild Harvest, Organic

The best use of this herb is as a wonderful refreshing tea. The custom of having a mint following a meal dates back to ancient Rome and has been a favorite natural remedy for indigestion since that era. Spearmint was not used formally in medicine until the mid-18th century, and to this date remains the most widely used essential oil. Dried Spearmint leaves can be substituted for fresh leaves when the fresh is not available. A refreshing steam treatment can also be prepared using Spearmint leaves, for the skin and the respiratory system.
