Eu ropean Human Rights Court has given its verdict on a case that will compel a couple to allow their baby who is suffering from a serious genetic illness to die. The 10-month-old baby, Charlie is currently on life support. According to reports, Charlie’s condition after he was diagnosed with mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome is progressive and currently incurable and his parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates have been in a long legal battle to save the ill baby.

The court said that Charlie was being exposed to continued pain, suffering and distress in pursuit of treatments, addin...

Digestion:  Mint is a great appetizer or palate cleanser, and it promotes digestion. It also soothes stomachs in cases of indigestion or inflammation. When your stomach feels sick, drinking a cup of mint  tea  can give you relief. Also, if you are someone who travels long distances via plane or boat, the menthol oil  derived from  mint can be very soothing for nausea and related motion sickness. The aroma of the herb activates the  salivary glands  in our mouth as well as glands which secrete digestive enzymes, thereby facilitating digestion. These attributes are why mint is extensively used in the culinary arts. Much of the western world includes mint as a part of appetizers or as an element of palate cleansers, to be eaten before the main course so the  food  will digest comfortably. Nausea & Headache:  Mint leaves, especially freshly crushed leaves help you deal with nausea and headache. The strong and refreshing aroma of mint is ...
