David Grotto, author of 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life writes: “Fresh mint was found to have very strong scavenging activities [in the body]. Mint is high in salicylic acid and it is thought to play a role in the prevention of colorectal cancer and atherosclerosis. In a study, mint given to mice with lung cancer reduced tumors significantly. The effects were attributed to the antioxidative and radical scavenging properties of mint. Research also indicates that some essential oils may reduce food borne pathogens. In one study, the natural essential oils found in mint prevented e.coli bacteria from growing.” Powerful stuff for such tiny, flavorful leaves Ginger Ginger is packed with anti-inflammatory compounds, called gingerols, which experts believe to: help fight some cancers reduce the aches of osteo- and rheumatoid arthritis soothe sore (or, swollen) muscles provide relief for an upset stomach and relaxes & soothes the intestinal tract
