Spearmint Tincture
Spearmint is grown in our own backyards. Herb Pocket workers grow plants without herbicides, pesticides, insecticides, fungicides, etc. That’s better than “certified organic.” When we harvest herbs it’s at the right time of day and at the right time of year for the best medicine. As we harvest we notice and discard rusted leaves, grass pieces, bugs, and yellowed leaves. We harvest (usually within a few minutes) and immediately take the plants inside where, if needed, they are washed and dried as quickly as possible. We do not use a steam application to kill bugs on freshly harvested plants. Our herbs dry in a dark room until they are placed in a paper sack for storage, also in a dark room. If a tincture is being made from the dried plant, we aim to make it within 6 weeks of harvest. If a tincture is made from the fresh plant, it is made within 48 hours of harvest. All plants and plant medicine are kept in the dark as much as possible during and after processing as well as during storage.. We pick every flower and leaf. We give thanks to the plants. We pour our heart and soul into providing a top quality product because we expect the plants to be very good at supporting normal body function to help our families.
Something exceptional about Herb Pocket is that we try to be as transparent as possible as to what exactly you are purchasing.

Spearmint has a cooling delicate flavor and is a gentle carminative, meaning it will move gas. It opens pores, refreshes, and relaxes the body. It’s used for bloating, fevers, to relax muscles in the intestinal tract, nausea, anxiety, stress, and insomnia. Spearmint is excellent to add to summer tea blends. Add spearmint to a bath for warm children. If a tea blend just isn’t as good as you’d like, add a bit of spearmint tincture for a nice added flavor.
Cautions: Very safe. Mothers experiencing low breast milk production should not use spearmint in high doses.
