Mint is one of my favorite herbs.
I've loved it since my grandmother made me good mint teas when I was a child.
This plant, very easy to grow, has 3 virtues secrets.
This little green plant is packed with health benefits , but not only.
Here are the benefits of mint that you don't know yet. Watch:
If the mint contains a large amount of vitamin C and iron , it has above all digestive virtues and stimulating.
More specifically, it soothes stomach aches and effectively treats digestive disorders.
I therefore use it regularly in the kitchen to prevent possible digestive disorders.
I add a few chopped mint leaves to some dishes.
It's delicious in tabbouleh or vegetable soup made with tomatoes, zucchini or celery.
Because it subtly enhances the taste.
I also use it to prepare tomato salads or as a complement in fruit salads.
After the meal, I often concoct a homemade infusion that I prepare by infusing about 5 mint leaves in boiling water.
Mint is also the best enemy of small insects.
Above all, they dread crossing his path.
In a vegetable garden, our dear little green plant keeps ants away .
And if it is used as an infusion to be sprayed on the leaves of different plants, it does not hesitate to repel aphids .
Finally, if it is applied to the openings of your home, it becomes an impassable barrier for mosquitoes and spiders !
The antitoxic properties of mint are known to eliminate venom from an insect bite.
It is then used as a compress to relieve pain.
To do this, simply soften the leaves in lukewarm water.
Then put on a poultice for 10 minutes.
There you go, the itching is over.
The mint sold in the supermarket costs between €2 and €3 for just a few branches.
Honestly, don't be fooled.
For the same price you can buy a jar of mint sold in the same supermarket.
It will give you leaves for months if you water it regularly.
Whether you grow it in a pot or in your garden, mint is a fairly easy-to-care-for plant.
So no need to buy it in branch!
A little humidity and shade are enough for its natural development.
A sachet of mint in the supermarket sold for €2 will not last you more than a week whether you have consumed it whole or not.
Because after a week, the mint leaves will be completely dried out.
Believe my experience, because I also fell into the trap.
