What Is the Scientific Name of Pudina, and How Are Its Uses Beneficial in Ayurveda? - #12065
I’ve been using pudina (mint) for various purposes, but I’d like to learn more about its scientific name and how it’s used in Ayurveda. What is the scientific name of pudina, and what are its medicinal uses and benefits in Ayurvedic medicine? From what I understand, pudina (Mentha piperita) is known for its cooling, digestive, and anti-inflammatory properties. How does pudina help treat conditions like gas, bloating, indigestion, and headaches? How does pudina benefit respiratory health, especially for treating cough, cold, and sinus congestion? I’ve heard that it can help clear airways and reduce inflammation in the respiratory system. What is the best way to use pudina in Ayurveda? Can it be consumed as a tea, applied as an essential oil, or used in cooking for digestive benefits? Lastly, are there any side effects or precautions to consider when using pudina, especially for individuals with allergies or sensitive skin?
