HEALTH BENEFITS OF FRESH MINT
Mint, the well known mouth and breath freshener that is scientifically known as Mentha, has more than two dozen species and hundreds of varieties like tooth paste, chewing gum, breath fresheners, candy and inhalers.
Mint also has so many amazing health benefits! The following are just a few.
- Digestion: Mint soothes stomachs in cases of indigestion or inflammation. When feeling sick to your stomach, drinking a cup of mint tea will give you relief. When traveling long distances via plane or boat, menthol oil derived from mint is noted to be very soothing for nausea and related motion sickness.
- Breast Feeding: Though a wonderful bonding experience between mother and child, breastfeeding can seriously damage your breasts and nipples. Mint oil has been shown in studies to reduce the nipple cracks and pain so often accompanied by breastfeeding.
- Depression and Fatigue: With mint being a natural stimulant, the smell alone can be enough to charge your batteries and get your brain functioning on a high level again. Ingested, applied topically in the form of a salve, or inhaled as a vapor, if you are feeling sluggish, anxious, depressed, or simply exhausted, mint and its derivative essential oils can help.
