Pudina is one of those herbs that sits in almost every Pakistani kitchen without getting the credit it deserves. You find it in green chutney, raita, sharbat, and the handful of fresh leaves that go into a glass of lemon water on a hot Lahore afternoon. Most people think of it as a flavouring. It’s considerably more than that.<\/p>\n
Across Pakistan, pudina has been used as a home remedy for upset stomachs, headaches, and blocked noses for generations. The science broadly agrees with this tradition, though with some important nuances worth knowing. According to the USDA, fresh mint leaves contain vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, potassium, and manganese, making them a genuinely nutrient-dense herb even in small amounts.<\/p>\n
This guide covers the main pudina benefits backed by evidence, how to use it in a Pakistani diet, who should be careful with it, and when a persistent digestive or respiratory problem deserves a specialist’s attention rather than a cup of pudina chai.<\/p>\n
