A Cup Of Brazilian Mint Tea Relieves Pain As Well As Aspirin

but without the harmful side effects.

(NaturalNews) Researchers from Newcastle University have scientifically proven that Hyptis crenata, also known as Brazilian mint, is a powerful pain reliever that works just as well as Indometacin, a synthetic drug similar to aspirin. A traditional remedy for treating the flu, stomach problems, high fevers, and headaches, Brazilian mint was found to be extremely powerful and safe.

The team, led by Graciela Rocha, set out to perform the study using the traditional preparation of the herb. Surveys were conducted in Brazil to figure out exactly how this was done and how much should be consumed in order to achieve beneficial results. The preparation the team ended up using consisted of the herb's dried leaves being steeped in boiling water for 30 minutes. Once cool, the tea was consumed in the same way as any other brewed tea would be. The results indicated efficacy in a wide range of ailments.

If I get home late and have to get up early I drink a tea made from homegrown chamomile, catnip, and spearmint.

Very nice

Dunno of you know, but you also just made a mild laxative, if used as a strong tea.

Spearmint/Wild Oats/Catnip.

Used with constipated children a long time ago.
