Spearmint: Magickal & Medicinal Uses
An article on the usages of Spearmint for Magickal and Medicinal means.
Spearmint
Always check with your physician before taking any sort of herb.
Magickal Uses
Any kind of mint can be placed in the home as a protective herb. The bright green leaves and the scent are known to be used for prosperity spells. It can also be used for good luck. 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.
Medicinal Uses
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. It may also be used to treat hirsutism in women (an imbalance of testosterone, which leads to abnormal masculine hair growth). Rubbing the leaves on your forehead is said to help aid a headache.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18) You are in the mood to learn a new skill, to put your intellect to the test. Creative and spiritual ideas appeal to you right now. Don't overlook practical concerns though. Car or home repairs may curtail your leisure time. It's best to avoid spending money on gambling or lottery tickets. Save that money for a rainy day. Maybe you are feeling a shade out of sorts today. If you are feeling stressed or confused, try meditation or prayer. You may feel stuck in a rut. Before you act, engage in some real contemplation of yourself and your goals. Take your time and follow your heart.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21) You may be feeling worried about a grandmother or grandmotherly figure today, perhaps because of health concerns. Weigh all decisions very carefully, taking into consideration the experiences and advice of your spouse and other relatives. It may be time to focus on paying what you owe or make that big purchase. Spend within reason. Your future happiness depends on your own choices. Your attitude will impact your level of success. Again, you will be concerned with extra income, this time through extra work\/overtime. Past work and accomplishments may prove profitable. Count on a raise both in status and your own self image. In any case, money and perks are more than good enough.
CANCER (June 21 - July 22) After so much time spent in the company of friends at clubs or social events, you may need a rest. Time to yourself would be good for your health right now. A destructive path can be halted by looking inward or to a higher power. Enjoy some temporary seclusion in order to recharge. You feel ready to enjoy fun and festivities with friends and loved ones. Your desire for solitude has passed. You are drawn to lively attractiveness in others. You're at the right place for some self-discovery if you tune into others. You realize that you already have everything that you need to be successful in your endeavors.
VIRGO (August 23 - September 22) A teacher or mentor has noticed your hard work. You are now recognized for your leadership qualities and talents. Enjoy the glory of this moment. In affairs of the heart, things may be trickier. End a relationship that isn't working. Travel may be a remedy for an aching heart. A time when you can balance and reconcile work and home, play sexual and passionate games. Children, friends, even distant relatives are all part of the social scene. You entertain them, amuse and even indulge them, talk to them, communicate in all possible ways from hugs to e-mail.
SCORPIO (October 23 - November 21) You may be dealing with a setback, either in health or in your personal life. Take time to deal with this productively, avoiding the temptation of vice or risky sexual relationships. Money may be headed your way. Research your options for saving and investing. This turbulent phase can be best weathered by acting with caution and following your gut. Work, home and family all make demands of you and you are prepared to meet them. You are mentally astute and energized, making this a good time to take up new challenges. Be ready to work hard and keep yourself on task and motivated. Focus on one particular task at a time. Do one thing and do it well.
ARIES (March 21 - April 19) Being an effective communicator means being a good listener. A younger sibling or other relative may have something significant to share with you now. Now is a good time to update your profile picture on social media. Get ready for a short journey that promises you new opportunities. The rewards you've been waiting for are headed your way. Money, success, achievement wait at work. Peace and joy await in marital and domestic life. Be thankful for all this phase affords. Be polite and be gracious to win everyone's heart.
CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 19) Learning a new skill or enrolling in some new training sets you apart from the competition. Diplomacy is needed in the workplace, where you may feel enemies around you. Take time for leisure with friends and family. Injuries and accidents can be avoided by careful commuting. Take a break from your worries and enjoy some creative or spiritual pursuits. Work will be satisfying, allowing you to take a more active role. You will feel rewarded, noticed for your hard work and a long desired goal will finally be in sight. You are strong, energetic and motivated. With determination and confidence, you will continue on your path of professional progress!
PISCES (February 19 - March 20) Don't put off repairs that require attention. Communicate with family to form a plan to keep peace. Those that have cared for you in the past may require your care and attention now. Family and loved ones should be your central concern right now. Communication and connection matter a lot today. You want to connect with those in your immediate circle as well as those beyond in, both in person and virtually. Social and group activity will prove beneficial. People skills are essential and can make or break you.
TAURUS (April 20 - May 20) Today be thankful and think how rich you are. Your family is priceless, your time is gold and your health is wealth. Try to maintain a sense of balance in your finances. Give voice to worries you've been having. Expressing your concerns will lead to fresh opportunities for monetary gain. The usual focal points of your life leave you cold. New values and concerns are imminent, perhaps gained through travel, a mentor or a distant relative. Overcome world-weariness as you have responsibilities to face.
LEO (July 23 - August 22) This is an ideal moment for networking. You are full of charisma and ready to jump into new groups or clubs. Recent success at work has inspired a sense of confidence that makes you attractive to others. But don't neglect a romantic relationship that might need more care and attention. You're subdue and reserved today. Now's the time for hidden meetings, secret activities, even an undisclosed love affair. In this more introspective period, you might be more sensitive about health, work and daily routine. Silence is golden. Silence is productive. Silence is love.
GEMINI (May 21 - June 20) True happiness may elude you at present. You may feel separated or restrained in some way. This feeling is only temporary, as new beginnings are on their way. In the meantime, make the most of this time of seclusion to be introspective. Look to elders, dreams and spirituality for guidance. Your aura of success and charm is visible, especially where love and money are involved. You may be drawn into finances pursuits, perhaps joint ventures or collaborations. Use all your charm and tact to get things going to your satisfaction. Gentle persuasion is more useful than a demanding, forceful approach.
LIBRA (September 23 - October 22) If your spiritual beliefs currently feel in doubt, a pilgrimage or foreign travel will give you a chance to research and reaffirm. Some legal affairs will soon be resolving, perhaps leaving you with an expected inheritance. Enjoy the good fortune or the moment but prioritize your health and avoid risky choices. Today domestic issues and work concerns are on your mind. You vacillate between feelings of intense love and hate, though concern for loved ones matters more to you than personal gain. You will find a balance between work and family, self confidence and lack of trust. Keep your cool. Anger would undo all the good work of the past few weeks.
