Know Your Mint
Mint, this popular herb, has several benefits which include proper digestion and weight loss, relief from nausea, depression, fatigue, and headache.
In India, it is mostly used in the treatment of asthma, memory loss, and skincare problems.
It is a well-known mouth and breath freshener and has more than two dozen species and hundreds of varieties.
It is a herb that has been used for hundreds of years for its remarkable medicinal properties and incidentally one of my most favourite herbs after curry leaves.
The market today is full of products like toothpaste, chewing gums, breath fresheners, candies, and inhalers, most of which have mint as their base element.
Besides its wide industrial use in ice-creams and chocolates, as well as in alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, cosmetics, medicines, inhalers, and breath fresheners.
It is also used as a condiment and a decorative item in culinary preparation around the world.
Drinks and foods containing mint cool you off in the summer and it is often included in summer cocktails for a refreshing burst of flavour.
It is also a good relaxant.
