History of Mint
Mint is an ancient herb and the use of mint tea dates back to medieval Europe. Mint's distinct smell has made it one of the more popular herbs throughout history. From Europe to India to the Middle East, it has been used to clear the air. In ancient Greece, mint leaves were rubbed on dining tables to welcome guests, while in the Middle East, the host still traditionally offers mint tea to guests upon their arrival.
What is Mint?
There are about 25 different species of mints and peppermint is actually a natural hybrid cross between Mentha aquatica (water mint) and Mentha spicata (spearmint).
Peppermint: Peppermint has greenish-purple lance-shaped leaves and has tastes of a cross between pepper and green chlorophyll. Where chamomile tea can be calming and soothing, peppermint tea is very refreshing and relaxing.
Spearmint: Spearmint has crinkled leaves and pointed leaf tips shaped like spears and is more of a grayish green color than peppermint leaves and has a little more subtle and cool taste than peppermint.
Other plants in mint family include:
· apple mint
· orange mint
· water mint
· curly mint
· Corsican mint
Health Benefits of Mint
Mint has significant health benefits mainly focussed around the digestive system.
It has an anti-spasmodic action which helps with:
- stomach cramps
- wind
- dyspepsia
- diarrhoea
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
- heartburn
- indigestion
- morning sickness
- nausea
It is also excellent for:
- clearing a head when suffering from a cold or headaches
- sweetens breath
- baby colic
- manage stress
- asthma
Mint has an amazing power to cure cancer. Mint contains a phytonutrient called perillyl alcohol. This phytonutrient prevents the occurrence of colon, skin and lung cancer. Mint works by attacking the tumour's blood vessels, starving cancer to death.
With Spearmint teas, recent studies have found that drinking two cups a day can help with Hirsutism – this condition in women, where hair grows in areas such as the face, stomach and chest is thought to be caused by too many androgens (male hormones such as freely circulating testosterone).

What are the advantages of herbal mint tea?
serious question,how many times should i drink it and what does it do for the body?
Yep! Some health benefits of peppermint herbal tea are that it can help with digestion and is useful for treating and soothing upset stomachs.
The properties found in peppermint inhibits the growth of certain bacteria, and can help relax muscles. In addition, peppermint oil is good for the skin, produces fresh breath, treats headaches and sinuses, and also fights gingivitis. Drinking it in tea form will help you obtain some of these benefits.
Peppermint also relaxes and helps reduce abdominal pain caused by irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and promotes better digestion
There are the usual bad sides to it too hun
The use of herbs is a time-honored approach to strengthening the body and treating disease. Herbs, however, can trigger side effects and can interact with other herbs, supplements, or medications. For these reasons, herbs should be taken with care, under the supervision of a health care provider.
Do not take peppermint or drink peppermint tea if you have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD -- a condition where stomach acids back up into the esophagus) or hiatal hernia. Peppermint can relax the sphincter between the stomach and esophagus, allowing stomach acids to flow back into the esophagus. (The sphincter is the muscle that separates the esophagus from the stomach.) By relaxing the sphincter, peppermint may actually make the symptoms of heartburn and indigestion worse.
I always do research of things im going to put into my body. Even though its natural and has got health benefits it can upset any medications that a person might be on.
