Menthe verte

Spearmint (Mentha spicata), native to Europe and Asia, is valued for its refreshing aroma and medicinal properties. It helps alleviate indigestion, gas, and bloating, and its tea is popular for reducing inflammation and enhancing respiratory health. The essential oil, rich in carvone, is used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation and improve mood.

In India, spearmint is widely used in Ayurvedic medicine to treat digestive issues, respiratory problems, and skin conditions. It is also a common ingredient in Indian cuisine, adding a fresh, minty flavor to dishes and beverages. Spearmint’s versatility and health benefits make it an integral part of Indian culture and natural medicine practices.
