Dear sir, I read the health benefits of mint leaves. Many are not aware of this. It is amazing that it can cure digestive disorders, liver disorders, vomiting etc. I thank you sir for the information. This must be made known to the public in popular news papers or TV. I have a personal problem. I have stomach irritation, belching and regurgitation after every meal. English medicines are not very effective. Some kind of home remedy, I shall greatly appreciate. Thanks a lot Prof. M. Vivekanandan

I had been looking everywhere to find out if this plant, alternanthera, was edible. You are the only site i have found so far, with this valuable information. In addition, you have posted a delicious recipe too! I knew i could look to my India for her ancient and wonderful wisdoms. Many thanks.
