What Is the Meaning of Mint Leaves in Bengali? - #11827

I recently started using mint leaves for digestion and refreshing drinks, but I was curious to know—what is the meaning of mint leaves in Bengali, and how is it used in Bengali traditional medicine and cooking? From what I have read, mint leaves (Mentha) are known for their cooling and digestive properties. In Bengali, is there a specific name for mint leaves, and are they commonly used for treating indigestion, acidity, and bloating? I also found that mint leaves are used in various Bengali dishes, such as chutneys, raita, and cooling drinks like Pudina Sharbat. Are mint leaves called something different when used in cooking, or is it the same term? Another interesting use of mint leaves is for relieving colds, coughs, and sore throats. Many people drink mint tea with honey and lemon to soothe throat irritation. Are there any Bengali home remedies using mint for respiratory health? I also read that mint leaves are beneficial for skin and hair care. Some sources say that applying mint paste or mint-infused water can help with acne and dandruff. Are there any Bengali traditional beauty treatments that use mint for skin and hair health? Lastly, are there any side effects of consuming too much mint? Since mint is cooling, should it be avoided by people with cold sensitivity or low blood pressure? How often can mint tea or mint water be safely consumed? If anyone knows the Bengali name of mint leaves and how they are used in Bengali home remedies and cuisine, please share your insights! I’d love to learn more about its culinary and medicinal benefits.
