The Story of Mint Tea in America

At Maison NANA1807, we like the idea of ​​sharing our story of Mint tea , while researching with passionate historians about Mint tea , the real story of its origins.

Thanks to Madame Samira Benturki Saîdi and her book "The Arab-Islamic identity of American Indian peoples and tribes ", we discovered the historical relations between the Amerindians and the North Africans.

"The Arab, African, Indonesian and Ottoman Turkish Navigators, before and after the advent of Islam, possessed superior knowledge in the maritime domain. Thus, centuries before Christopher Columbus, they sailed the seas and oceans and populated the American continent, where the Muslim religion was practiced by certain Native American tribes. " Samira Benturki Saîdi

Native Americans are renowned for their knowledge of medicinal plants. It is said that they started using plants and herbs for healing after seeing animals eating certain plants when they were sick. In order to preserve biodiversity and protect these plants from over-harvesting, healers have a habit of picking only one in three plants.

Native Americans have a very spiritual approach to health. For good health, they recommend following a straight, harmonious and balanced path in life, like the teaching of Prophet Muhammad.
