How about a sprig of mint in a hot drink? Sprigs of mint in a spring bouquet? Or even a few springs of mint left near a air conditioning outlet or in a bowl of hot water for just a hint of something in the air. I'll pick fresh from the garden 20 healthy springs (at least 8 inches long) of beautiful mint. The tops can be used for their beauty, and the bottoms can be used for fragrance. Mentha spicata (Spearmint - named for its pointed leaves) is a species of mint native to much of Europe and southwest Asia. Spearmint was revered by ancient Romans for its ability to "stir up the mind" and it is still used as a medicinal tea, fragrance and oil.

People have dug up Zingiber officinale, a.k.a. the root more commonly known as ginger, for its health benefits and spicy flavor since the beginning of time. But just because it's been around awhile doesn't mean it's a cure-all for your health. Here, we clarify the myths versus the facts on this trendy spice that's best known for bringing the heat! 1. It can reduce your risk of diabetes. Scientists have linked some active compounds in ginger with improvements in insulin and metabolism. That said, if you're at risk for diabetes, adding extra to sugary gingerbread cookies won't do you any favors! Keep both dried and fresh ginger ginger on-hand for flavoring smoothies and veggie-based stir-frys and soups. While some chemical compounds in ginger may decrease over time, the drying process enhances other beneficial ones. 2. It's a natural way to relieve period pain. Out of all of the research done on ginger's pain-relieving properties, results show it helps with menstrual pain the most. Sipping ginger tea can also soothe nausea during that time of the month. However, if you usually take acetaminophen or ibuprofen, it may not work as well. Check with your doc before trying any supplement in extract or pill form, since it may interact with other medications you're taking. 3. It's an anti-inflammatory. Like other produce, nuts, seeds, beans and whole grains, ginger contains antioxidant-like compounds called phytonutrients that may reduce cell damage. The root can also prevent inflammation from starting by reducing cell-signaling activity. With that in mind, adding ginger to already good-for-you, nutrient-dense meals is the key to unlocking those properties. 4. It can settle an upset stomach. The idea that ginger can help with some light tummy trouble isn't new. In fact, research has linked multiple digestive benefits to ginger, specifically acting on parts of your GI tract responsible for feelings of nausea, stomach upset and vomiting. It may also help move food from the stomach to the small intestine for digestion and absorption. That said, ginger cannot prevent food poisoning or counteract ingestion of a harmful substance, so contact your physician ASAP if something requires urgent medical attention. 5. It can also curb morning sickness. And speaking of an upset stomach, pregnant women in particular should take note: Ginger may help reduce symptoms of morning sickness! In fact, research supports the safety and efficacy of ginger during pregnancy, with some improvement in symptoms when compared to a placebo.
