Mint is a herb that has many medicinal benefits. It is great for boosting immunity, good for digestion and oral health, and very rich in beneficial Iron and Vitamin A.
Extremely easy to grow and beginner gardener friendly plant. In fact, it grows like a weed when planted on the ground. Hence it is best to grow mint in pots to contain them. Here is a picture of mint plant from my garden.
