Spearmint

mentha spicata
mentha viridis LINN.



MEDICINAL OIL
Properties of Spearmint oil resemble those
of Peppermint, being stimulant,
carminative and antispasmodic, but its effects
are less powerful, and it is less used than Peppermint,
though it is better adapted for children's maladies.

Spearmint oil is added to many compounds
on account of its carminative properties, and because
its taste is more pleasant and less
strong than Peppermint.

DOSAGE
From 2 to 5 drops may be given on sugar,
or from 1/2 to 1 teaspoonful of spirit of Spearmint,
with 2 tablespoonsfuls of water.


Special Thanks
