In Chinese Medicine: With a good tropism for the Stomach and Gallbladder, Spearmint addresses several kinds of upper Middle Jiao stagnation, including where it progresses to heat in the Blood. Qi-moving but cooling, it also clears wind-heat in the Lung, the sinuses and the exterior, and is among the better oils for resolving stubborn phlegm-damp.
