Spearmint\u2019s got beautiful anti-illness wrapped in that sweet scent. It\u2019s calming without sedating. It\u2019s stimulating without exhausting. It\u2019s my go-to when life\u2019s gotten a bit overwhelming and I need the energy to carry on while longing for just five minutes to think. Just think.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">I wanted to express the feeling I get from watching the buzz of activity that happens when Spearmint is in bloom in my yard. Bees come from all around to partake in the nectar Spearmint offers. That part of the garden thrums with activity, but somehow it\u2019s never disruptive to the rest of the community. The whole garden, Spearmint included, feels at peace despite all that motion. I think of Spearmint as Bee Medicine.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1788 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-4-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-4.jpg 525w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1787 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-3-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-3.jpg 525w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1786 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-2-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-2-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/candacehunter.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Spearmint-Buzz-detail-2.jpg 525w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 225px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 225\/300;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When life\u2019s a buzz with activity and you\u2019re overwhelmed, Spearmint is the best friend you could ask for.
