Mint - A Powerful Home Remedy

/

Relieve Stomachaches

Mint naturally produces menthol which helps in soothing the stomach from aches and pains. It is estimated that mint can reduce stomach pain by 40%.

Use Mint as Breath freshener

Peppermint or spearmint tea are great breath freshener especially if you add a pinch of anise, caraway or cinnamon.

Prevent and heal from Colds

Drink peppermint tea with elder flower and yarrow.

Get Rid of Coughs

Drink 3-4 cups of cool peppermint tea throughout the day, taking a sip every 15 to 30 minutes. Rub ointments with mint on the chest.

Improve Your Digestion

Drink a cup of hot herbal tea to settle your stomach after a meal -the menthol in peppermint soothes the lining of the digestive tract and stimulates the production of bile, which is an essential digestive fluid.

Ease Tension Headaches

Add 1-2 drops peppermint essential oil to a carrier oil such as sesame or sunflower oil and apply to temples when headache starts and once an hour after, if needed.

Raise Your Energy

Mint is a stimulant similar to caffeine, but won't cause jitters. Try a drop of essential oil at the back of the tongue. Too much at once can be overwhelming; try a SMALL drop first. Mint is also known for lifting the mood, bringing cheer. Also throughout history has been used in cases of hysteria and shock.
