At the time, the area I planted a small bush mint - a neighbor shared, as she in a few years, it has grown into a whole thickets. Well, needless to say, twigs with a pleasant aroma quickly came into play - I began to indulge yourself super natural and useful, as I then thought, tea, without a drop of preservatives and harmful additives.
Now, every morning I start with this drink - brewed in a circle a few currants and raspberry leaves with a sprig of mint, and sometimes add more honey and lemon. In general, mint firmly established in my daily diet. Moreover, I was about to stock these aromatic leaves for the winter, but in one moment everything changed and I realized that Mint brings me nothing but harm.
It all started with the fact that my health began to deteriorate, though over time I noticed that dizziness or weakness occur just after "useful" seagull. Of course, for a long time, I did not attach any importance to this, referring to the summer heat, but one day, after a "staggering" my daughter decided to still measure my blood pressure. And what do you think? The device showed 80/50, tell me, with all live?! Yes, I admit, all my life I lived with an indicator 100/70, but that was highlighted on the dial are now scared me great. What could have provoked such a strong jump?
Naturally, I immediately got into the Internet and by reading several articles and talked with experts in the forums, I realized that itself has brought to this state. It turned out Mint has the property of lowering the pressureSo I, in which it is, therefore, reduced, to use it is simply counter.
As soon as I stopped drinking tea and add mint, leaves only a limited raspberries and currants, the pressure returned to normal, and I was back in my comfortable state. So, be with this fragrant plant careful - high blood pressure, of course, mint gulls will only favor, but those who have a low pressure and so, from this additive is better to abstain, so as not to harm your health.
