Mint For Health, Happiness, and Deterioration of the Liver
We've all heard the old saying about one man's junk being another man's treasure, or, in this case, mint. When it comes to mint candy the saying has a lot of truth behind it. Mint has been used as a currency for hundreds of years. This article will explore how mint was used as money, what products were derived from it, and why you should care.
Mint is well known as one of nature's greatest sweeteners. It is found in many products from candy to chewing gum. Dried mint leaves can be used as food coloring or as an herbal tea. Candy store candy is usually made with fresh mint leaves. Dried mint has a refreshing taste and is popular as a flavoring for snacks and chewing gum. Candy store manufacturers depend on the wholesale price of mint to make their profit, so the more you buy they sell, hence the more you save on your purchases.
Mint in nature is found only in a few locations worldwide. In Central America, a wetland area in the southern part of the Andes Mountains contains numerous species of wild mint. In parts of the Amazon rainforest, water mint ( Molina rubra ) is found growing in tree bark and leaf litter. Water mists produced by boiling water are harvested and used as a disinfectant.
One family of plants that is closely related to mints are lemons. Lemon balm, which comes from the same family as mint, is also known for its therapeutic qualities. Lemon balm has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, as well as having a relaxing effect. Lemon balm has also been traditionally used to treat a variety of ailments including headache, sore throat, stomach problems, toothache, bronchitis, diarrhea and vomiting. It is thought that lemons have an antibacterial effect similar to mints, especially when it is consumed in raw form. Lemon balms are sold commercially in dried, bottled and tablet forms.
Lavender is another member of the mint family that is used in cooking. It has a sweet aroma and flavor, often used in combination with rosemary to make a delicious tea. Lavender can be found in Europe, Australia, and some parts of Asia. Lavender tea is popular throughout the world as a relaxant, due to the pleasant aroma of the herb and the calming effect it has on the mind.
A number of mint species grow wild in temperate climates all over the world. One species, Mentha Spathacea, is so rare that it is listed in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. Mint is one of the most popular, readily available, natural and herbal medicine herbs in use today. It can be used as a seasoning in foods or mixed into flower waters for decoration.
