Mentha health benefits
Mint has the botanical name Mentha piperita and belongs to the Lamiaceae family. Its active chemical component is menthol, which is extracted from the leaves. Mint acts as a natural insecticide that can kill mosquito larvae. Its carvone and limonene contents have antimicrobial properties against Vibrio strains, making it useful as a natural preservative in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Mint may help improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome such as stomach pain, gas, and changes in bowel habits. Consuming mint as a tea, adding its leaves to food, or applying peppermint oil can provide benefits such as reducing nausea, improving brain function, and aiding in weight loss.
Some Medicinal plants & Their Uses
Medicinal plants have been used throughout human history to produce chemical compounds that perform important biological functions and provide defense. These compounds can have similar effects to conventional drugs and potential side effects. Ethnobotany studies traditional plant uses and has led to many modern medicines. Plants have been a long-used source of pharmaceuticals like aspirin, digitalis, quinine, and opium.

MEDICINAL PLANT
A medicinal plant is any plant which, in one or more of its organs, contains substances that can be used for therapeutic purposes, or which are precursors for chemo-pharmaceutical semi-synthesis. When a plant is designated as ‘medicinal’, it is implied that the said plant is useful as a drug or therapeutic agent or an
active ingredient of a medicinal preparation. Medicinal plants may therefore be defined as
a group of plants that possess some special properties or virtues that qualify them as
articles of drugs and therapeutic agents, and
are used for medicinal purposes.
All bark
1. Bark is the outer protective layer of stems and roots of woody plants. It consists of inner bark and outer bark.
2. The outer bark protects the tree from weather, insects and fungi. The inner bark transports food made in the leaves throughout the tree.
3. Bark has important structural, protective and transport functions and can be used to identify tree species. Different barks have distinct characteristics and chemical compositions that determine their uses.
