In the treasure trove of Vietnamese traditional medicine, folk remedies derived from natural medicinal herbs are not only simple healing methods but also embody the wisdom of generations. From mint to perilla leaves or ginseng-like Tinospora sinensis roots, each herb carries unique therapeutic properties, passed down through countless years.

Mint, with its cool, refreshing aroma, is often used to relieve colds and headaches due to its menthol essential oil, which has antibacterial and nerve-soothing effects. Meanwhile, perilla leaves are a familiar remedy for alleviating joint and bone pain, especially when combined with rice wine for soaking or applied as a warm compress.

Equally significant, the roots of Tinospora sinensis are dubbed the "poor man’s ginseng" for their ability to nourish qi and blood, enhancing immunity. Many households use these roots in decoctions or steeped in rice wine to prevent illness during seasonal changes.

These remedies not only reflect a profound understanding of the medicinal properties of plants but also embody the spirit of "southern herbs for southern people"—leveraging local resources to care for health.
