Abstract

It is widely cultivated for its leaves and essential oil, which are rich in menthol and used in food, medicine, cosmetics, and perfumery.In Ayurveda, mint is prescribed for digestive problems, respiratory ailments, and skin disorders. In Unani medicine, it is valued as a cooling and refreshing herb that balances the body's humors. Traditional Chinese medicine uses mint to relieve sore throat, fever, and headaches.Water requirement of mints is very high. Depending on soil and climatic conditions the crop is irrigated 6-9 times before the first monsoon.Essential oil from Mentha spicata (spearmint) has demonstrated potential in reducing the severity of IBS symptoms, particularly abdominal pain and bloating. Mint contains phenolic acids and flavonoids that contribute to its strong antioxidant activity, which helps neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. Mixed cultivation with mintAlthough mint is said to repel cabbage white butterflies and Colorado potato beetles, it is generally not advisable to plant this proliferating herb in vegetable beds. Once the cutting develops roots (this can take about a week in water), it's ready to be planted in a pot.
