can Mint prevent stomach ache ?


Mint can help get rid of nausua, motionsickness!
I think mint calms the stomach, and so does ginger, and black licorice.

My favorite natural mint tea is actually made by a brand that you can probably find in most grocery stores that carry a lot of teas.

It’s by Traditional Medicinal, a brand that has branched out beyond it’s typical natural foods store markets.

It’s organically grown and the only ingredient in it is all natural mint leaves, which is ideal to help soothe an upset or sour stomach and help aid the digestion process.

Mint also is a green leaf food, which means it contains chlorophyll, another excellent nutrient that helps feed and nourish the body’s cells, although since it is a tea and it’s heated the effects of the chlorophyll may be diminished.

Garlic for cholesterol reduction


According to some studies, garlic might decrease blood levels of total cholesterol by a few percentage points.

Other studies, however, suggest that it might not be as beneficial as once thought. It might also have significant side effects and/or interactions with certain medicines.

Garlic might prolong bleeding and blood clotting time, so garlic and garlic supplements should not be consumed prior to surgery and should not be taken with blood-thinning medicines such as warfarin.
