Menthol Crystals Whole (Mentha Arvensis)

Menthol Crystals Whole (Mentha arvensis) are the purified, naturally crystallized aromatic compounds extracted from field mint, long used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, and global herbal traditions for their cooling, refreshing, and opening properties. These clear, glassy crystals carry a potent mint aroma and intense cooling sensation, making them ideal for clearing heat, soothing the throat, opening the nasal passages, easing irritation, and calming inflammation. In TCM, menthol is associated with the actions of Bo He, supporting the release of exterior wind-heat, brightening the senses, and easing discomfort tied to heat and stagnation.

Menthol is considered pungent, cooling, and aromatic, entering the Lung and Liver channels, where it helps lift constrained qi, clear heat from the head, soothe irritated throat tissues, ease headache and dizziness from wind-heat, and promote comfortable breathing. It is traditionally used in formulas for sore throat, cough with heat, red or itchy eyes, sinus congestion, and early stages of wind-heat invasion. Its cooling nature also makes it useful for itching, mild swelling, and topical applications when dissolved into salves, balms, washes, or oils.

In folk and modern herbal practice, menthol crystals are widely used for steam inhalation, chest rubs, cooling balms, digestive soothing formulas, and aromatherapeutic blends that help open the air passages and refresh the mind.

Scientific analysis shows that natural menthol contains monoterpenes and volatile compounds with strong analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, and cooling effects. These constituents explain its traditional and modern uses for throat comfort, nasal clarity, muscle relief, and skin cooling.

Each batch of Menthol Crystals Whole (Mentha arvensis) is carefully extracted and crystallized to preserve its purity, potency, and sharply refreshing aroma. A small amount dissolves easily in warm water, oils, alcohol, or steam, producing a deeply cooling sensation used to open the senses, clear heat, soothe irritation, and invigorate the respiratory pathways.
