Mint

Mint is cooling, relaxing, freshens your breath, and tastes great.

It soothes your stomach and aids digestion. Mint increases saliva production in your mouth, which helps improve your digestive process.

Mint soothes sore throats, relieve nausea and upset stomachs, and headaches. It opens bronchial passages, helps clear congestion, and soothes coughs.

Mint is antiseptic and great for cleaning your skin, relieving itching from bug bites and soothes skin.

One of the few sources of certain flavones which reduce risk of breast cancer. (but you’d have to eat barrel fulls)

Mint is one of those things where too much is not a good thing – too much can cause irritation. Keep it in moderation.
