Especially recommended to relieve digestion problems, peppermint belongs to the botanical family of lamiaceae.
Its parts used are the leaves - fresh or dried - prepared in infusions or in the form of essential oil.
Peppermint is used in the composition of various culinary specialties: in tea, tabbouleh or spring rolls.
The plant is found in almost all cultures.
And it turns out to be particularly rich in phenolic acids.
It also contains an interesting amount of flavonoids and tannins.
It is indicated orally in the management of functional digestive disorders (bloating, slow digestion, referrals, flatulence ...).
Mint has digestive properties. It soothes the stomach and stimulates bile and therefore digestion thanks to its iron concentration and vitamin C.
This is what makes its reputation! As a direct consequence of its effectiveness on the digestion side, mint limits gastric upturns and treats bad breath. In addition, its freshness is inimitable!
Mint has pain relieving properties. It thus relieves insect bites and sores. It is also used in first aid in the event of severe shock or muscle pain. Some clinical trials also show its benefits against headache! And for good reason, it would relax the nerves.
Decongestant, mint lets you breathe again when a cold prevents you!
Rich in antioxidants, mint could prevent certain cancers. If no clinical study has yet been done on the subject, it is its ability to prevent oxidation that could potentially prevent cardiovascular disease and certain cancers.
By soothing the stomach and stimulating bile, mint allows the liver to efficiently eliminate toxins. It is therefore, like lemon, an active detoxifier.
Inimitable, the freshness of mint accompanies us in all seasons: in mojitos in summer, teas in winter, veloutés in autumn and spring rolls ... in spring!
