Why Mint Tastes Cold

İf you have had stressful day, you can cup of tea with mint. Because Mint has a skill that makes you soothing. And also #mint has several benefits which include proper digestion and weight loss, relief from nausea, depression, fatigue, and headache.

Similar to why peppers taste hot, what is going on here is there is a chemical in mint, menthol, which is tricking the brain into thinking that the area the menthol is applied to is cold; even though, in fact, it is the same as it was before. Specifically, menthol binds with cold sensitive receptors in you skin; these receptors contain things called "ion channels", in this case TRPM8. The menthol makes these much more sensitive than normal and thus tricks your brain into think you are feeling a cold sensation, when in fact, everything is more or less the same temperature as before
