mint

The traditional medicine of Iran is several hundred years old, it has a high capacity in the field of prevention and treatment of diseases, which in interaction with modern medicine can solve many health and medical problems.

Medicinal plants are of special importance in the world, and this importance is increasing day by day, and the country of Iran, due to its historical background and potential geographical and climatic diversity, can meet the needs of human society in the field of medicinal plants.

Mint, with the scientific name of Mentha spicata, is a perennial herb based on a study presented at the International Conference on Environmental and Agricultural Engineering in 2011. Mint essential oil has antifungal properties and is widely used in pharmaceutical science, and according to a report published in food magazine Chemistry shows that peppermint extract has good phenolic and flavonoid content and excellent antioxidant activity.

Most of Iran’s northern cities and Khorasan and Shiraz provinces cultivate the best type of mint due to the suitable climate and soil, and we prepare and produce mint organically in the agricultural lands in these cities, and considering that from fertilizer We do not use chemicals, we have higher quality in exporting this product to other countries. Mint produced in Madara farms has excellent taste and unique aroma for production and export.

Turner, the father of British botany, mentions mint as the most useful substance for the stomach. The medicinal role of this amazing plant is great. Recently it was found that peppermint extract improves memory.

Professor Susan Farr of St. Louis College has suggested that if the antioxidants in peppermint are made into a fortified extract, it may help improve learning and memory.

Some uses of mint plant:

Help to treat sore throat and cold

Help with toothache

Relieve headache and fatigue and pressure

Relieves hiccups and nausea

Help treat eye inflammation

Treatment for diarrhea

Mint species have many common and useful chemical properties, and due to their antispasmodic properties, they are useful in relieving digestive discomfort and irritable bowel syndrome.

Because mint is rich in vitamins A and C, it is useful for treating scurvy, improving eyesight, and reducing night blindness and eye shine.

This plant has an excellent antiseptic and soothing effect on local pains.

In modern pharmaceuticals, in addition to the drugs made based on the effective ingredients of mint, it is also used as a flavoring agent for some bad-tasting drugs, toothpaste, and mouthwashes.

Rich in Nutrients

While not typically consumed in large quantities, mint does contain a fair amount of nutrients.

In fact, just under 1/3 cup or half an ounce (14 grams) of spearmint contains:

Calories: 6
Fiber: 1 gram
Vitamin A: 12% of the RDI
Iron: 9% of the RDI
Manganese: 8% of the RDI
Folate: 4% of the RDI

Because of its dynamic flavor, mint is often added to recipes in small amounts, so consuming even 1/3 cup may be difficult. However, it’s possible you may come close to this amount in some salad recipes that include mint among the other ingredients.

Mint is a particularly good source of vitamin A, a fat-soluble vitamin that is critical for eye health and night vision.

It is also a potent source of antioxidants, especially when compared to other herbs and spices. Antioxidants help protect your body from oxidative stress, a type of damage to cells caused by free radicals.

May Improve Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common digestive tract disorder. It is characterized by digestive symptoms like stomach pain, gas, bloating and changes in bowel habits.

Although treatment for IBS often includes dietary changes and taking medications, research shows that taking peppermint oil as an herbal remedy might also be helpful.

Peppermint oil contains a compound called menthol, which is thought to help alleviate IBS symptoms through its relaxing effects on the muscles of the digestive tract.

A review of nine studies including over 700 patients with IBS found that taking peppermint oil capsules improved IBS symptoms significantly more than placebo capsules.

One study found that 75% of patients who took peppermint oil for four weeks showed improvements in IBS symptoms, compared to 38% of the patients in the placebo group.

Notably, nearly all research showing IBS symptom relief used oil capsules rather than raw mint leaves.

May Help Relieve Indigestion

Mint may also be effective at relieving other digestive problems such as upset stomach and indigestion.

Indigestion may occur when food sits in the stomach for too long before passing into the rest of the digestive tract.

Multiple studies have shown that food passes through the stomach quicker when people take peppermint oil with meals, which could relieve symptoms from this type of indigestion .

A clinical study in people with indigestion showed that a combination of peppermint oil and caraway oil taken in capsules had effects similar to medications used to treat indigestion. This helped improve stomach pain and other digestive symptoms .

Similar to IBS, studies highlighting mint’s ability to relieve indigestion used peppermint oil rather than fresh or dried leaves.

Could Improve Brain Function

In addition to ingesting mint, there are claims that inhaling the aroma of essential oils from the plant could provide health benefits, including improved brain function.

One study including 144 young adults demonstrated that smelling the aroma of peppermint oil for five minutes prior to testing produced significant improvements in memory.

Another study found that smelling these oils while driving increased alertness and decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue .

However, not all studies agree that peppermint oil could benefit brain function. One study found that although the aroma of the oil was invigorating and led to less fatigue, it had no effect on brain function .

More research is needed to help understand how it may work and investigate whether peppermint does, in fact, improve brain function.
