Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Mentha haplocalyx, commonly known as Chinese mint or field mint, has a long history of use in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). In TCM, it is referred to as "Bo He" and is used primarily for its cooling and dispersing properties, often to address conditions like fever, sore throat, and headaches. Occasionally, it is included in herbal formulas aimed at regulating Qi and alleviating symptoms related to menstrual irregularities, such as emotional distress or mild discomfort. However, its role in directly treating menstrual irregularity is secondary and typically adjunctive. There is little to no robust clinical or pharmacological evidence from modern scientific studies validating its efficacy for menstrual irregularity. Most references to its use for this condition are rooted in traditional herbal compendia or anecdotal reports, rather than empirical research. Therefore, while Mentha haplocalyx may be cited in traditional practice for supporting menstrual health, its use for menstrual irregularity is not strongly supported by scientific data and is rated low in evidence.
