in #food6 years ago

Peppermint

Very similar to mint, an aromatic plant widely used for various uses such as infusions. Planting peppermint is a very simple task. It adapts very well to different climates and only needs light and a lot of humidity. 

The ideal is to plant peppermint from cuttings of another plant. A good idea is to put them in a glass, submerging the stem in water so that the roots grow. 2. The ideal time to plant mint is during the first weeks of spring.

Useful to treat cases of diarrhea, its application to relieve stomach cramps is also recommended. It has carminative properties, since it favors the elimination of gases accumulated in the digestive tract, being very useful to treat cases of meteorism and flatulence. It has anti-dysmenorrheal properties, which is why it is highly recommended to treat menses that present excessive pain. In addition, mint is a mild sedative, so it is very good to treat cases of nervousness, anxiety situations, or sleeping difficulties.
