Active Components & How They Work

Spearmint essential oil contains a unique set of constituents that offer therapeutic benefits while being gentle on the nervous system:

• Carvone – The dominant compound; antispasmodic, carminative, and calming

• Limonene – Uplifting and antioxidant; supports immune health

• 1,8-Cineole (trace) – Offers light respiratory and antimicrobial support
