Working with Mint | Travailler avec la menthe #HerbsMoon #LuneDeGrain

La menthe est une herbe de l'Air extrêmement purifiante, et attire les bonnes influences. Elle est aussi efficace pour l'exorcisme et la défense, mais s'avère toxique lorsque trop concentrée. La menthe poivrée occupe une place privilégiée dans la phytothérapie digestive grâce à l'huile essentielle que renferment ses feuilles et qui lui confère un très grand pouvoir calmant des spasmes intestinaux. L'action antiseptique de l'huile essentielle limite les fermentations intestinales et soigne les ballonnements. La menthe, associée au fenouil, est particulièrement efficace pour soigner les troubles de la digestions tels que nausées, ballonnement, pesanteur après le repas, aérophagie, et douleur épigastrique.
