Brazilian Mint is an Effective Pain Reliever
Brazilian mint has been used for thousands of years as a traditional medicine to treat pain for a variety of ailments. A new study concludes that it is effective as a natural treatment for pain.
The dried leaves are boiled in water for 30 minutes and then cooled and served as a tea. It actually tastes more like sage than mint.
The researchers found that in mice the Brazilian mint was just as effective for pain relief as the drug known as indomethacin, which is a highly potent painkiller. However, unlike the Brazilian mint, indomethacin has seriouis side effects, including upset stomach, gastric irritation and the risk of heart attack.
The next step is to conduct clinical trials to test the effectiveness of Brazilian mint as a pain reliever for people, and to figure out how and why the plant works.
