The difference between wild mint and mint, a picture of mint

First, the efficacy intensity is different.

There is not much difference between wild mint and mint, especially in appearance. But it can be distinguished in terms of efficacy. The one with stronger efficacy and higher medicinal value is wild mint. Wild mint can evacuate wind-heat, relieve itching through rash, relieve summer heat and dampness, and treat wind-fever, cold and sore throat. Although peppermint has a similar effect on traditional Chinese medicine, it is not as effective as wild mint.

Second, growth environment is different

Wild mint is grown in the mountains, like the light enough wet, warm growth environment, can tolerate the harsh environment. On the other hand, peppermint likes to grow in an environment between 25 and 30 degrees, preferring a warm and dry environment. Not resistant to stagnant water, if the phenomenon of water dampness is serious, it will affect growth. And the growth will become slow at a temperature above 30 degrees.

Third, taste is 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 delicate smell, which usually blossoms between July and September every year. If the mint is raised at home, it tastes much lighter, and it doesn't smell as good as wild mint. So it would be better if you want to use it as a drink or with wine or with wild mint.
