Get Your Self in Mint Condition With Mint Teas…
History of Mint
Mint is an ancient herb and the use of mint tea dates back to medieval Europe. Mint’s distinct smell has made it one of the more popular herbs throughout history. From Europe to India to the Middle East, it has been used to clear the air. In ancient Greece, mint leaves were rubbed on dining tables to welcome guests, while in the Middle East, the host still traditionally offers mint tea to guests upon their arrival.
What is Mint?
There are about 25 different species of mints and peppermint is actually a natural hybrid cross between Mentha aquatica (water mint) and Mentha spicata (spearmint).
Peppermint: Peppermint has greenish-purple lance-shaped leaves and has tastes of a cross between pepper and green chlorophyll. Where chamomile tea can be calming and soothing, peppermint tea is very refreshing and relaxing.
Spearmint: Spearmint has crinkled leaves and pointed leaf tips shaped like spears and is more of a grayish green color than peppermint leaves and has a little more subtle and cool taste than peppermint.
Other plants in mint family include:
· apple mint
· orange mint
· water mint
· curly mint
· Corsican mint
Health Benefits of Mint
Mint has significant health benefits mainly focussed around the digestive system.
It has an anti-spasmodic action which helps with:
- stomach cramps
- wind
- dyspepsia
- diarrhoea
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
- heartburn
- indigestion
- morning sickness
- nausea
It is also excellent for:
- clearing a head when suffering from a cold or headaches
- sweetens breath
- baby colic
- manage stress
- asthma
Mint has an amazing power to cure cancer. Mint contains a phytonutrient called perillyl alcohol. This phytonutrient prevents the occurrence of colon, skin and lung cancer. Mint works by attacking the tumour’s blood vessels, starving cancer to death.
With Spearmint teas, recent studies have found that drinking two cups a day can help with Hirsutism – this condition in women, where hair grows in areas such as the face, stomach and chest is thought to be caused by too many androgens (male hormones such as freely circulating testosterone).

Is a 1931 mint condition Lincoln head penny worth anything?
Mint condition…
Nose looks like a mushroom?
Worth more then 1 cent?
correction on the mushroom comment….nose is normal but appears to have mushroom sitting on it.
A mint state 1931 Lincoln cent must have no wear any place on it. A mark on the nose is okay if it is say a bag mark, cents were shipped in bags and hit each other causing marks. The value for a mint state 1931 cent is from $7 to $44 depending on what mint state grade it is. If the coin has any of the lines in the wheat ears are missing or worn, or Lincoln’s hair or ear are warn then it is not a mint state coin.
