What Is the Use of Mint? - #11243
I’ve always used mint in cooking, but I recently heard that it has medicinal properties as well. Can someone explain what is the use of mint and how it can benefit health? One thing I’ve noticed is that drinking mint tea after meals helps reduce bloating. Is this one of the main uses of mint, and does it help with other digestive issues like acidity or indigestion? I’ve also read that mint is great for respiratory health. I often get mild sinus congestion, and someone suggested adding mint oil to steam for relief. Does this really work, and are there other ways to use mint for respiratory problems? Another question I have is about mint’s antibacterial properties. Can it be used for oral hygiene, like making a homemade mouthwash or toothpaste? If so, how effective is it? If anyone has personal experience with what is the use of mint, I’d love to know how you’ve incorporated it into your daily routine.
