TCM benefits of Mint
薄荷 · bò he
How mint is seen in traditional Chinese food therapy. Traditional context, not medical advice.
- Mint is classed as pungent and cool, the opposite end of the thermal scale from ginger.
- The Cantonese soup survey lists it cooked with pork and magnolia bark, an unusual savoury use; most cooks know it better as a fresh-leaf tea.
- In a hot dish mint goes in at the end of cooking, because the aroma is lost with long simmering.
