Abstract

Health never goes out of trend. There is increased interest in alternative medicines particularly those obtained from plants. Functional foods have the ability to prevent or lessen the severity of symptoms of disease. The world is gaining its interest in treatment through natural sources like foods and medicinal plants. Herbal medicines have already been utilized by various cultures around the world for several therapies including chronic pain, malaria, heart conditions, warts, skin diseases and bowel disorders. The need for functional foods is anticipated to increase as a result of three factors: changing laws, increased health care expenses, and scientific discoveries. Mint is a member of the Lamiaceae family. Mint is an excellent source of vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds, dietary fiber and antioxidants. Mint is a mysterious herb because of its many unknown aspects through which it promotes good health that should be revealed. Mint is a rich source of Iron. Alkaloids, steroids, and tannins are among phytoconstituents found in mint essential oils that prevent the absorption of sugars and flavonoids.
薄荷(薄荷):一种草药,用作功能性成分
健康永远不会过时。人们对替代药物,特别是从植物中提取的药物越来越感兴趣。功能性食品具有预防或减轻疾病症状严重程度的能力。世界对通过食物和药用植物等天然来源进行治疗越来越感兴趣。草药已经在世界各地的各种文化中被用于几种治疗方法,包括慢性疼痛、疟疾、心脏病、疣、皮肤病和肠道疾病。由于三个因素,对功能性食品的需求预计会增加:法律的变化,医疗保健费用的增加和科学发现。薄荷是薄荷科的一种植物。薄荷是维生素、矿物质、酚类化合物、膳食纤维和抗氧化剂的极好来源。薄荷是一种神秘的草药,因为它有许多未知的方面,通过它促进健康,应该揭示。薄荷含有丰富的铁。生物碱、类固醇和单宁是薄荷精油中发现的植物成分,它们可以防止糖和类黄酮的吸收。
