Mint for Cough and Headache Relief

Mint is an excellent herb that can be useful in a variety of cases, ranging from the common cold to the treatment of oral herpes, which is a frequent problem for many people. Additionally, it is known for being a great remedy for indigestion, and for this reason, it is recommended to drink a mint tea after a hearty meal.

Properties of Mint

Mint is recommended for stomach disorders, digestion, and nausea. It is also suggested for colic and colitis, as well as in cases of enteritis and abdominal cramps. Furthermore, mint is recommended as a diaphoretic in cases of fever, viral infections, or the flu. As a muscle relaxant, it helps alleviate headaches.

The main component of mint is menthol, which helps treat respiratory issues and cold symptoms. Specifically, menthol effectively breaks down phlegm, relieving cough and congestion. Moreover, due to its antibacterial properties, it also protects against oral herpes.

Preparation Method

Place the mint leaves in a vessel such as a small pot, teapot, or saucepan and pour boiling water over them. Let them steep for about five to seven minutes, and it will be ready for consumption. You can add a sweetener like honey, but mint tea can also be enjoyed on its own, as it has a wonderful taste and aroma.
