Difination:
Spearmint (Mentha viridis or Mentha spicata) is a species of mint plant native to Europe and Asia that grows well in nearly all temperate climates. The name is derived from the plant's spear-like pointed leaf tips. Spearmint is grown for
its aromatic and carminative essential oil, referred to as oil of spearmint Spearmint leaves can be used whole, chopped, dried, dried and ground, frozen or preserved in salt, sugar, sugar syrup, alcohol, or oil.

Spearmint is an ingredient in several alcoholic drinks, such as the mojito and mint julep. Sweet tea, iced and flavored with spearmint, is a summer tradition in the southern United States. It is used as a flavoring for toothpaste
and confectionery, and is sometimes added to shampoos and soaps. The cultivar Mentha spicata 'Nana', the Nana mint of Morocco, possesses a clear and pungent but mild, aroma and is an essential ingredient of Touareg tea.

In folk medicine, spearmint has been used for gastrointestinal distress,
respiratory problems, stomachache, dandruff, bad breath, and chronic bronchitis,
and as an sedative, abortifacient, and emmenagogue.

Several clinical studies have reported that drinking spearmint tea helps reduce
hirsutism in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) by suppressing androgen
production and decreasing testosterone levels. There is preliminary evidence that
an herbal combination product containing spearmint may be useful in the treatment
of irritable bowel syndrome. There is conflicting evidence regarding whether
chewing spearmint-flavored gum improves memory; it remains unclear if spearmint
itself or the act of chewing improves memory.
