Morocco's Rx For Beating The Heat!

                    Cool Down In Morocco! 

In most parts of the World, the temperature is quickly rising
and if you don't have access to air conditioning or fans, you may
want to use the Rx that the people of Morocco have used for decades, 

what is it?
Mint.

That's right, mint, peppermint and spearmint can help you feel
cooler. How? Mint is loaded with menthol oils, that fool the body's

internal temperature , helping you to feel cooler and more comfortable.
Plus, mint stimulates the sensory nerves in the mouth and throat, altering
your perception, which also helps you feel cooler.

Purchase fresh mint at your local supermarket or farmer's market. 

Or you may want to grow your own, a small pot on your windowsill will
give you mint for quite some time.
To make a tea..place a few mint leaves in a mug and pour some hot water
into the mug. Let it sit for a few minutes and drink as it, or let it really
cool off, add few ice cubes and a tbs. of honey for a refreshing homemade
Iced-tea treat.

Good Luck!
