Mint tea is one of the most popular herbal infusions. It's refreshing, the flavor is clean and sweet, and it almost feels good to drink after a heavy meal. Mint tea is great on its own, or is often blended with other herbs or green tea leaves for its distinctive pleasing aroma and taste.
Whether you prefer the strong menthol of peppermint, or the more mild effect of spearmint, either way you are doing something good for your body drinking a cup of mint tea. Mint is one of the best herbs for the digestive system. It relaxes the stomach muscles, combats gas, and stimulates the secretion of digestive juices. It has anti-microbial properties, helping to keep your system clean of bad bacteria. It is also an anti-spasmodic, anti-catarrahal, analgesic and nervine. What does this translate into? A calm stomach, and a healthy digestive tract, safe from ailments such as stomach ulcers and Crohn's disease. A relaxed nervous system, reduced anxiety and tension. Also, relief from the symptoms of both colds and the flu.
Mint tea can be found anywhere. Numi tea makes a delicious Moroccan Mint, and Teaism sells organic spearmint as well as a soothing lavender-lemon-mint blend. You can also make fresh mint tea yourself, either with mint grown from your own backyard, or even bought at the grocer.
