HotM: Mint

A touch late, but June's Herb of the Month is Mint.

What is your favorite form of mint, if any? Share anything of the herb that is relevant to you; from recipes, to spiritual experiences, to scientific attributes, and anything that comes to mind.

I think I remember mint tea being good for upset stomachs.

Sprear mints my fav...I do believe that peppermint and spearmint settles your tummy when your notious. Like car sick for sure.....

Mint is great for an upset stomach, and mind! It's also a great stress reliever. In the Middle East which we call "aragh nahna" which sort of translates into "mint water", basically you take mint leaves and boil them, and what you need to do is somehow catch the steam of it. Of course this is a very hard process that requires time and lots of mint leaves, so you can usually buy it as a bottle.
If I had to explain the taste, it is sort of bitter and I really don't like the taste of it myself but I swear that it does wonders. If you ever get the chance to taste it don't miss out!

Mint really helps for anxiety. I have social anxiety and mint tea really helps calm me down. Also when my acid levels get too high in my stomach, I eat peppermint candy canes.

I love to put mint in my warm or cold water with a bit of lemmon. It's really refreshing to drink a cold bottle of water with a nice mint taste when it's hot outside!

I love eating wild mint as a kid

I would bring out a stoll and just pick leaf after leaf lol
