Mint Tea & Water

People often run hot. They’re overthinking, frustrated. Being challenged is an everyday occurrence. Liver and brain heat increase as frustrations rise and stress becomes intense. When the liver and brain heat up, so does the heart, and mint can help cool down all three. Sit down in a comfy spot and slowly take in your surroundings while sipping this mint tea or mint water. Feel the cooling effect on the body. Your body will truly love you for it.

Phytochemical compounds in peppermint, spearmint, and other mint varieties are highly stimulating to some neurons and neurotransmitter chemicals. These phytochemical compounds can stimulate nerve cell receptors that are conditioned to caffeine. In this way, mint tea can suppress the feeling of desperate need for caffeine and minimize caffeine withdrawal.
