The uses of Mint

0



Cooling freshness of peppermint is loved by all, is not it? Most of us associate leaf / plant with exceptionally fresh breath, but most are rarely pick up a bunch of mint from the market will be used for other purposes and it is a shame! Whether Spearmint, peppermint or other type of mint (by the way, I love chocolate mint-leaves I chop some more fresh fruit and have a nice, low-cal dessert!) Mint is used for are nearly endless. Fresh or dried, leaves a nice warm, fresh, aromatic and sweet flavor with a cool taste and a great in teas, jellies, syrups, candies and ice cream.

In some parts of the Middle East, they use mint in lamb dishes and you'll almost always get served a nice cup of mint tea after a heavy meal-great for digestion. A drop of peppermint oil is delicious when served with chocolate fondue chocolate after a meal, and I like to add fresh mint leaves fruit and vegetable salad for a hint of something different and fresh.

In addition to use in food, mint comes to our rescue in so many other ways as well. It is a great relief if you get a bad headache, just put a few drops of peppermint oil on a cold, wet towel and put it over the forehead to relax your senses. If you do not have fresh mint at home, add a drop of peppermint oil a cup of herbal tea to help digestion, gas and ease heartburn. It makes a great massage cream when added to unscented body cream, too, and very refreshing in hot summer months, especially if you're trying to reduce air accounts.

Place a few drops of peppermint oil on the burner to refresh a room and kill air born bacteria. A few drops of peppermint oil in a footbath aids in relieving tired feet, and it's great even for freshening clothes-just add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil and add the towel dry your hair with your clothes. And finally, my favorite uses for peppermint oil I always carry a closed container for peppermint oil between meals to prevent gas from the food does not digest well. You can also rub some on your stomach or lower back area to relieve the pain of gas, because it is absorbed through the skin. Minta relief!
