Spearmint oil is cleansing and uplifting, and the aroma will help sharpen the senses. For digestive complaints, on can take one or two drops internally, or dilute and rub on the stomach region. For bringing alertness, a drop or more can be inhaled directly from a handkerchief, or the oil can be used in a diffuser.
