Mint is called Pudina in Sanskrit. It is a hardy perennial famous for its fragrance. The aromatic menthol wakes up the senses and acts as a decongestant.
It has a balancing effect on all the three doshas, it is a cooling herb, with a katu (heating) vipaka (post digestive taste).
Mint and some of its great benefits:
1. Aids digestion, reduces gas, indigestion and irritable bowel
2. Improves oral health by reducing harmful bacterial growth in the mouth.
3. decongestant, great to use for steam inhalation.
4. Treatment for cough and cold, throat irritation
5. Cooling effect for your skin, useful for insect bites anti inflammatory
Some more ways how can you use Mint leaves
1. Make a mint tea – add the leaves to boiling water and steep for 5-10 minutes.
2. Add it to your room temperature drinking water (best to leave it overnight)
3. use mint infused water as a mist for your skin (fill it in a spray bottle and keep in the fridge) - My personal favourite.
4. Use to gargle and rinse your mouth
We would love to hear your favourite ways to use mint.
