Ayurveda and Mint
What can you do with mint leaves?
We have plenty of Mint in Lakshmis garden.
Mint is called Pudina in Sanskrit. It is a hardy perennial famous for its fragrance. The aromatic menthol wakes up the senses and decongest the orifices of the head.
It is also calming and relaxing for the digestion. There are many varieties, spearmint and peppermint are the two common ones.
It’s Ayurvedic actions are:
Deepana/ promotes Agni (digestive fire)
Anulomana / promotes the downward flow of Vata
Shiro Virechana / clears the head
It has a balancing effect on all the three doshas, it is a cooling herb, with a katu (heating) vipaka (post digestive taste).
Mint and some of its great benefits:
1. Aids digestion, reduces gas, indigestion and irritable bowel
2. Improves oral health by reducing harmful bacterial growth in the mouth.
3. decongestant, great to use for steam inhalation.
4. Treatment for cough and cold, throat irritation
