Spearmint Dried Leaves (50g)
Spearmint is an herb commonly used in infusion products like chewing gum, essential oil, mints, perfumes, and teas. The mint flavor is tasty and freshens breath. It’s also incorporated into many dishes around the world, including main dishes, sauces, and desserts.
But in addition to the minty flavor, spearmint tea has several properties that contribute to our health.
As with any herbal tea, spearmint tea hydrates your body and offers a more exciting alternative to water. Staying hydrated can improve your sleep quality, cognition, and mood. Drinking enough water also helps your body carry out necessary functions such as:
- Regulating body temperature
- Lubricating joints
- Preventing infections
- Delivering nutrients to cells
- Maintaining organ functionality
Because spearmint tea doesn’t contain caffeine, it’s a good option if you have a sensitivity to caffeine.
Research shows that spearmint contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help prevent free radicals from causing damage to your cells that can lead to serious diseases such as cancer.
Research supports some health benefits associated with drinking spearmint tea; however, additional research into some of its properties is required.
