Uses of Mint Essential Oils:

People, recently are pondering for alternate options such as Ayurveda, Siddha, and much more. People are searching for natural choices as remedies for disorders and health issues. There are various methods by which the essential oils are prepared and manufactured. The essential oils are extracted from herbal plants, where the essence of the plant is liquified and helps in the creation of medicines. There are healing properties in these medicinal herbs, which include a few side effects as well.

Mint Oil Essentials:

The most commonly used mint essential oils are Mentha arvensis and Mentha piperitas. These two essentials are very well used by the commoners in India. People feel relief while using these particular essential oils. Both the mint essential oils are extracted from the peppermint and spearmint plants. The extraction process is similar for both oils, with few differences.

Let us now have a brief look at the Mentha Arvensis Oil.

Mentha Arvensis Oil:

The oil from these flowering plants contains a source of methanol removed from simple crystallisation. It has a high medicinal value, like peppermint oil. The aroma of Mentha arvensis is extremely perennial. Mentha arvensis grows from 60 cm to 100 cm tall with erect, semi-sprawling, squarish stems. The flowers are purple at the base of the stems. It also has a fruit, which is a two-chambered carpel. This herb grows along the streams. The plant is prone to two kinds of diseases. These diseases are common in Mentha plants. The Japanese plant is prone to rust fungus due to the mild, foggy temperatures.

Let us have a brief idea of Mentha Piperita.

Mentha Piperita Oil:

Peppermint is a hybrid species of both watermint and spearmint. This shrub is being cultivated elsewhere in the world other than Europe and the Middle East. It was collected in England in 1753, and it was assumed to be a species; it was confirmed to be a hybrid variety.

According to ecology, since it is a hybrid plant, it is sterile without any production of seeds and spreads its runners. The peppermint has an extraordinary flavor that enhances the taste of the products. Two varieties of peppermint are used for commercial production: Black Mitcham and Todd’s Peppermint.

Differences in Spearmint and Peppermint Oil:

Having said a few details about the essential oils of spearmint and peppermint,  what are the differences between the two mint essential oils? Taste wise,  spearmint has a sweeter taste when compared to peppermint. They are used in a variety of dishes other than peppermint. Peppermint helps in providing higher medical value than spearmint. Peppermint has 40% methanol content, and spearmint has a .05%methanol content. Spearmint is naturally grown, while peppermint is a hybrid variety of spearmint itself. As mentioned before, the taste of peppermint is stronger and spicier than spearmint.

Here are the uses of both mint essential oils like spearmint and peppermint simultaneously.

Uses of Spearmint and Peppermint oils:

Spearmint is used in toothpaste and shaving cream, while peppermint is used for stress reduction. Peppermint oil is used in treating sinus infections, sore throats, headaches, and joint pains, while spearmint oil is used in digestive and inflammation issues. Spearmint has the advantage of being more anti-inflammatory. Both oils might look similar, but they are not substitutes for each other, as the basic methanol content is much different. Spearmint also reduces nausea, while peppermint does not.
