What can soothe your stomach, cool your skin and and awaken your senses? Hint: It grows in your garden and tastes great.

It's mint, and it's thought to be an effective and all-natural treatments for many ailments, including digestive issues, liver disorders, bad breath and more. It's good for both waking you up and calming you down, and it tastes great to boot. Add it to salad, pasta sauces and iced tea for an instant, fresh-tasting flavour boost. Myself, I enjoy a warm cup of mint tea most nights of the week over a good book.

How do you enjoy mint?
