The magic of mint

We love the mint leaves in our kababs and our mocktails, and its not without a reason. Mint leaves along with their lovely fragrance also have a number of health benefits:

Aids in digestion
Mint is a good appetizer. The smell of mint activates the salivary glands that produce digestive enzymes. This helps us in digestion.



Nausea and headache
When you feel nauseous try some mint to drive away that feeling. Smell the aroma of mint oil or fresh mint leaves in order to decrease nausea. If you are having a headache try applying some mint oil.

The smell of fresh mint is very effective for respiratory congestion as it opens up nose, throat, and lungs. Mint flavour can also help to overcome cough.

Helps breathe easy
If asthma patients use mint regularly it can provide relaxation, and help relieve breathing.
