I want to share with you my knowledge about herbal pharmacy.
And there are so many kinds of herbs that naturally help but today say hello to Mint.

So lets started :

Mentha also known as mint, the species that makes up the genus Mentha are widely distributed and can be found in many environments.

Most grow best in wet environments and moist soils. They will grow 10–120 cm tall and can spread over an indeterminate area.

Due to their tendency to spread unchecked, some mints are considered invasive.

Mints are supposed to make good companion plants, repelling pesty insects and attracting beneficial ones.

There are many wonderful properties offered by this plant.

Mint was originally used as a medicinal herb to treat stomach ache and chest pains.
