What Is the Hindi Name for Mint, and How Is It Used in Ayurveda for Health Benefits? - #11642
I have been using mint (Pudina) in my cooking and drinks for its refreshing taste, but I want to know its Hindi name and how it is used in Ayurveda for health benefits. What is the Hindi name for mint, and what are the traditional health benefits associated with this herb? From what I understand, mint is well known for its cooling and digestive properties. How does it help in relieving bloating, indigestion, and gas in Ayurveda? What is the best way to consume mint for these digestive benefits? I have read that mint is also beneficial for respiratory health. Does inhaling mint steam or drinking mint tea help in relieving congestion, clearing mucus, and easing symptoms of asthma or sinusitis? Some sources mention that mint has anti-inflammatory properties and can help in relieving headaches and reducing stress. Can mint oil be applied to the temples for headache relief, or is it better consumed as tea for calming the mind? Additionally, does mint help in improving skin health? Can it be applied as a paste for acne or used in face packs for reducing skin irritation and inflammation? One concern I have is whether mint has any side effects when consumed in large amounts. Can it cause heartburn or digestive upset in some individuals? How much mint is safe for regular use? If anyone has personally used mint for digestion, respiratory health, or skin care, please share your experience. What method worked best for you, and how long did it take to notice improvements? I am looking for detailed and practical information on the Hindi name for mint and its health benefits in Ayurveda. Please share any insights!
