Mint and its amazing healing powers

How refreshing

So, besides making your breath fresher, what else does mint do?

Digestive:  Indegestion, cramps, and morning sickness are all treatable with fresh mint juice.  It can also be used to treat irritable bowl syndrome.  Mint is also effective at treating diarrhea when the oils from the plant are used.

Skin:  Mint oil can be applied to pimples, skin rashes, sunburn, and bug bites.  The oils from mint leaves can also relieve hemorrhoid pain.

Respiratory:  Fresh mint clears out the sinuses and even helps with asthma and bronchitis.  Mint is an ingredient in many cough drops and cough medicines because it helps relieve a soar throat.

Women's Health:  Mint extract can be taken prior to and leading up to menstruation to lessen painful cramps.

Joints:  Mint oil can be applied topically to relieve the symptoms of arthritis.

Mint oil is an effective antiseptic!

Mint is native to temperate Europe.  The ancient Romans and Greeks knew of the medicinal qualities of mint.    Ancient Greek physician Saufarsats included it in the use of several carminative medicines.  Even ancient Chinese and Japanese physicians were familiar with this spice!

Although the health benefits of mint are every bit as astounding as the freshness it leaves behind, mint also has an impressive nutrient profile.  Mint is rich in minerals, contains vitamin D, vitamin E, calcium, vitamin C, vitamin A, and vitamin B3.  About 50% of the composition of the plant's oils is menthol.
