Effects and Benefits of Drinking Mint Leaf Infusion
Disease description:
I’ve been experiencing discomfort in my throat lately, and my voice has often been hoarse. A friend suggested drinking mint leaf tea—what exactly are its benefits?
Peppermint possesses several therapeutic effects, including dispersing wind-heat, clearing heat and benefiting the head and eyes, relieving sore throat, promoting the eruption of rashes, soothing the liver, and regulating Qi flow. It may be used as an adjunctive treatment for early-stage wind-heat common cold, characterized by fever, headache, sore or swollen throat, hoarseness, and other related symptoms. It can also serve as adjunctive therapy for conditions such as incomplete measles eruption, urticaria, and wind-heat rash. Additionally, peppermint may help alleviate chest tightness and hypochondriac pain caused by liver Qi stagnation.
