A Sprig of Peppermint
I’m conditioned to drink green tea and dark chocolate every single day, usually an hour after lunch. Lately, I’ve been adding a sprig of peppermint (freshly picked from my garden) to my tea after learning that peppermint has several health benefits. Did you know that the extracts from peppermint leaves may inhibit histamine release, which suggests it may help alleviate hay fever symptoms? Also, the aroma of peppermint has been shown to enhance memory and increase alertness. It also contains menthol, which may inhibit the growth of prostate cancer as well as relieving a stuffy nose. Most of all, it can help to relieve muscle spasms and pain. This has been my recent simple indulgence, and now my daily ritual.
So, this weekend while I celebrate Chinese New Year with my family and friends, this simple indulgence will be part of that ritual. You too, don’t forget to carve out some time to try this simple indulgence. You will definitely love it. Until next week, I will see you on the blog!
