Spearmint History:

Spearmint, the oldest of all mints, has been utilized for hundreds of years for its digestive benefits. In fact, written records in ancient Babylon (1800 BC) show that this aromatic herb was often used to treat digestive disturbances. According to many researchers, this is due to the natural presence of laevo-carvone, which is known to inhibit muscular contractions in the intestinal tract.  In ancient Greece, spearmint was valued for its versatility, being used for everything from refreshing the atmosphere and welcoming visitors, to aromatizing bath water and being attributed with medicinal properties.
