Therefore, headache, head wind, eyes, throat and mouth teeth are the main drugs. " The Medication Law says that it can "clear the head wind and remove wind and heat". "Medical Remnant Star" records that "mint clears the customs, helps the throat and makes people smell fragrant". Pharmacological research shows that this product contains volatile oil, and the decoction has inhibitory effect on human tuberculosis and typhoid Bacillus. A small amount of volatile oil can induce sweating, relieve fever and excite the central nervous system, while external use can paralyze nerve endings, diminish inflammation, relieve pain, relieve itching and have a cool feeling.
