There is treasure to be desired and
oil in the dwelling of the wise. Proverbs 21:20
Spearmint Essential Oil has a scent similar to Peppermint Oil but its milder effects have earned it the nickname “The Gentler Mint Oil”.
If you don't have any Peppermint Oil you can substitute Spearmint because it has many of the same attributes. Unlike Peppermint however, it has much less menthol content and this milder nature makes Spearmint a natural choice when treating children or the elderly.

Much like Peppermint, Spearmint Essential Oil promotes digestion and has the ability to calm an upset stomach and naturally reduce gas. This effect is probably the best known result of consuming Spearmint Oil.
Drink a drop of oil in your favorite hot beverage or add it to a glass of drinking water.
If you don't like the taste, you can put a drop in a gelatin capsule and take it with some food.
