The Many Uses of Mint

The cooling freshness of mint is loved by all, isn’t it?  Most of us associate the leaf/plant with wonderfully fresh breath but rarely do most pick up a bunch of mint from the market to use for other purposes and it’s a downright shame!  Whether spearmint, peppermint or some other type of mint (by the way, I love the chocolate mint—I chop up some leaves over fresh fruit and have got a lovely, low-cal dessert!) the uses for mint are almost endless.  Fresh or dried, the leaves have a pleasant warm, fresh, aromatic and sweet flavor with a cool aftertaste, and are great in teas, jellies, syrups, candies and ice cream.

In some parts of the Middle East, they use mint in lamb dishes and you’ll almost always get served a nice cup of mint tea after a heavy meal—great for digestion.  A drop of mint oil is delicious in chocolate when serving up some chocolate fondue after a meal, and I love adding fresh mint leaves to fruit and vegetable salads for a hint of something different and fresh.

Aside from its use in food, mint comes to our rescue in so many other ways, as well.  It’s a great relief if you get bad headaches; just put a few drops of peppermint oil on a cold, wet washcloth and place over your forehead to relax your senses. If you don’t have any fresh mint at home, add a drop of peppermint oil to a cup of herbal tea to help digestion, gas and ease heartburn.  It makes a great massage cream when added to unscented body cream, too –and quite invigorating in the hot summer months, especially if you’re trying to cut back on air conditioning bills.

Place a few drops of peppermint oil on an oil burner to freshen a room and kill air-born bacteria.  A few drops of peppermint oil in a footbath aids in relieving tired feet, and it’s even great for freshening laundry—just add 2-3 drops of peppermint oil to a dry washcloth and add to the dryer with your clothes. And finally, my favorite use for peppermint oil—I always carry a container of encapsulated mint oil for between meals to prevent gas from food I don’t digest well.  You could also rub some on the belly or lower back area to relieve gas pains, as it’s absorbed through the skin.  A minty relief!
