Mentha Cordifolia
By:
Post # 1
Hi, does anyone know the common name for Mentha Cordifoilia? All I know is it's a species of mint and searching the web hasn't found me anything useful. (the information seems to vary from website to website if it has anything about the species at all)
Also, what magical properties would this herb have, as well as physical effects? (like how cloves numb and lavender makes you calm and sleepy)
Thank you!

As you said, it's a form of mint so it can be used in cooking. Physically, mint is said to be good for issues of the nasal tract, stomach, and chest- when I had a stomach ache as a child, my mother would always prepare me some mint tea and it would settle.

Around the house, use it for aromatherapy! It's great for creating a strong, fresh odour. The oil can also be used as an organic, natural insecticide for your plants. I use it on all of mine and I haven't had an issue with bugs since.

Metaphysically, it's used in occult practices for healing a lot. But it's also common to use it for money related matters/prosperity, protection and luck.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your help, both of you. I'll definitely use some of that advice, Sekhmi!
And Pdrew, I'm not sure how to help you. I'd suggest making another seperate thread altogether. You'd have a higher chance of finding someone who can help there.
