Spearmint specifically is good for healing spells, especially with ailments of the lungs. Inhaling the scent of spearmint is said to aid psychic development. Spearmint stuff within your pillow or under your matress will protect you while you sleep.

Medical: When spearmint is made into a tea or infusion, it is very versatile. The tea/infusion is good for helping with Nausea, hiccups, flatulence, and motion sickness. It is known to also help IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and act as a diuretic. It's very good to drink after dinner to help aid digestion. Aside from those uses, it has been used by expectant mothers as a mild remedy for nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
