There is not much difference between wild mint and mint, especially in appearance. But it can be distinguished in efficacy. Wild mint is more effective and has higher medicinal value. Wild mint can dispel wind and heat, relieve itching, relieve summer heat and promote diuresis, and can also treat wind-heat cold and sore throat. Although mint has similar efficacy to traditional Chinese medicine, its efficacy is not as strong as that of wild mint.
Second, the growth environment is different.
Mint grows in Shan Ye, likes to grow in warm and humid environment, and can tolerate harsh environment. Mint, on the other hand, likes to grow in an environment between 25 and 30 degrees, preferring a warm and dry environment. Not resistant to stagnant water, if the water wet phenomenon is serious, it will affect the growth. When the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, the growth will become slow.
Third, it tastes different.
The difference between wild mint and mint can also be distinguished by taste. Among them, the taste of wild mint is more fragrant, and the whole plant has a faint fragrance, which generally blooms between July and September every year. If it is home-grown mint, it tastes much lighter and is not as good as wild mint. Therefore, if you want to use it as a drink, wine or wild mint, the effect will be better.
