Mint / Pudina leaves can help in digestion, treats asthma, common cold, aids weight loss and so on. The Chutney made out of this is awesome. This can be used in Biriyani, Butter milk, Raita, Juice etc. A dash of mint really changes the flavour of the dish you are making.
Since it has the cooling effect to the body, during summer, do not hesitate to use this wonderful herb. Menthol,
which is the active oil in the mint, has antiseptic and antibacterial
properties that help relieve indigestion and also soothe an upset
stomach. Mint
can work wonders for almost all your digestive issues. It is a
good relaxant and relieves congestion. However, make sure you don't
overdo your mint dosage, else it may irritate your air passages. Mint is known to clear congestion of the nose,
throat, bronchi, and lungs. In addition to the respiratory channels,
mint's anti-inflammatory properties also relieve the irritation caused
by chronic coughing.
Today, I made the Mint Rasam with Ginger and Garlic as I had a digestive issue. The Rasam was superb and I had only the Rasam and nothing else and was relieved of my issues after having it.
