Our eucalyptus spearmint bar is quite delicious but not overwhelmingly minty. Eucalyptus is a well-known inhalent, used to clear congestion. It has also been taken internally to fight pulmonary tuberculosis and other microbic diseases of the lungs. (As yummy as my soap is, please refrain from eating it. It will not do you any good!)

Added to the eucalyptus is spearmint, which gives the bar a touch of sweetness while still being quite minty. Spearmint has long been a favorite the world over, espeically in England where it was grown in ancient English gardens. It is believed to prevent coagulation of milk, as well as aiding in digestion and being beneficial to chapped hands.

A quote from herbalist John Gerard refering to spearmint, though this could be applied to any one of our scents: "the smelle rejoiceth the heart of man, for which cause they used to strew it in chambers and places of recreation, pleasure and repose, where feasts and banquets are made."
