What is the Marathi name of the Mint plant? - #12215
I use mint regularly in my food, but I never thought much about its name in different languages until recently. That got me wondering—what is the Marathi name of the mint plant, and is it the same as the one we commonly use in daily cooking? I know mint is a cooling herb that helps with digestion, and I often drink mint tea when I have an upset stomach. But I also read that there are different varieties of mint, like spearmint and peppermint. Does the Marathi name of the mint plant refer to a specific type, or does it include all varieties? Apart from food, I’ve heard that mint is used in Ayurveda for headaches, stress relief, and even skin issues. I sometimes apply fresh mint paste on my face, and it feels refreshing, but I don’t know if it actually helps with acne. Has anyone tried using mint for skincare? Also, does the Marathi name of the mint plant have any cultural significance in Maharashtra? Are there traditional recipes or remedies that use mint in a unique way? If anyone knows the correct Marathi name of the mint plant and its specific uses in Ayurveda or home remedies, I’d love to learn more!
