Among the pasta in our hometown, there is a cold noodle made of garlic juice, which is particularly refreshing. When mashing garlic juice, we often add mint leaves or agastache leaves to it, which will make garlic juice more delicious. Of course, you can also put some when cooking cold dishes. Besides edible value, they also have medicinal value.
Mint is a commonly used Chinese medicine in China. Whole grass can be used as a medicine for treating common cold, fever, sore throat, headache, pink eye, myalgia, rubella, itchy skin and measles. Mint contains menthol, which can refresh breath and has many medicinal values. It can relieve gallbladder problems such as abdominal pain and spasm, and has antibacterial, bactericidal, diuretic, expectorant, stomach invigorating and digestive functions. A large amount of mint can cause insomnia, but a small amount of mint can help sleep. Pogostemon cablin also has bactericidal effect. It can remove bad breath, prevent infectious diseases, and can also be used as a preservative. In summer, using Pogostemon Pogostemon to cook porridge or tea is effective for summer dampness, spleen and stomach dampness, abdominal distension, heavy limbs, nausea and vomiting. In addition, mint has an extremely positive flower language, which is very suitable for people who miss the opportunity of love, that is, "I want to see you again" and "love me again". It also has a flower that says "a man of virtue".
It never occurred to me that two kinds of seasoning plants, which were once considered to be extremely common, had such profound connotations, and they also advertised "Mint" and "Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid" that they often heard, found the source and gained sufficient harvest.
