How It's Used
In Chinese herbal traditions, Mint is celebrated for its ability to release exterior heat, support natural energy flow, and promote harmony. It’s often used to help clear the head, brighten the eyes, and soothe the throat, while also supporting overall balance.
In Western herbal practices, Mint is appreciated for its versatile properties. Known for its refreshing qualities, it supports digestion, encourages balance, and promotes comfort in everyday life. The menthol in mint adds a soothing, cooling effect that’s cherished across traditions.
Fun Fact: The name Mint is rooted in Greek mythology, where the nymph Minthe (or Mintha) was transformed into a mint plant by Persephone, creating a legend as enduring as Mint’s invigorating aroma!
