DESCRIPTION
Plant Profile
Mentha spicata, known as spearmint, is a hardy perennial herb in the mint family (Lamiaceae). It has square, upright stems that grow about 30 to 100 centimeters tall. The leaves are bright green and lance-shaped, with sharp serrated edges. They are wrinkled, strongly veined, and attach closely to the stem with little or no stalk. When the leaves are crushed, they give off a sweet, cool scent. This aroma comes mainly from carvone, which sets spearmint apart from peppermint’s stronger menthol smell. Spearmint is native to Europe and Western Asia, but it now grows widely around the world.
Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Mentha spicata, known as pudina, is valued for its light, dry, and sharp qualities. It has a pungent taste and a warming effect on the body. It is used to calm Kapha and Vata by kindling digestion and helping food break down properly. Traditional texts such as the Bhaishajya Ratnavali describe its use in powders and decoctions to remove ama, or toxic buildup in the body. It is commonly given for poor appetite, stomach pain, and intestinal worms. Pudina is also used to clear the lungs in cases of cough and asthma. In women’s health, it supports relief from menstrual pain and helps during recovery after childbirth. In other traditional systems, spearmint is known as a gentle carminative and antispasmodic. Western folk medicine has used it for centuries, especially for children’s colic and nausea during pregnancy. Because it contains less menthol than peppermint, it is easier on sensitive people. In Mediterranean and North African cultures, spearmint tea is consumed daily to soothe the throat and help prevent high blood pressure. Historical records from the Middle Ages also note its use as a powdered leaf for cleaning and whitening teeth.
Phytochemical Composition
The chemistry of Mentha spicata is shaped mainly by its essential oil. This oil is rich in carvone, which usually makes up 50 to 70 percent of the total content. Carvone gives spearmint its sweet scent and supports its digestive and antimicrobial effects. Limonene is the second major compound, often accounting for 10 to 30 percent of the oil. Other important compounds include 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), dihydrocarvone, cis-carveol, and small amounts of pulegone. Unlike peppermint, spearmint contains very little menthol or menthone. This explains its softer, milder flavor.
Precautions
