Traditional uses

In Korea, it is called (방아잎, 'bangannip}, and used for Korean pancake and stew, more specifically for Bosintang and Chu-eo-tang. Chu-eo-tang is a soup or stew cooked by Chinese muddy loach. It is called (Chinese: 藿香; pinyin: huò xiāng)[2] in Chinese and it is one of the 50 fundamental herbs used in traditional Chinese medicine.[3] Chemicals isolated from Agastache rugosa have some antibacterial properties.[4] The extracts have shown antifungal activity in in vitro experiments.[5] Agastache rugosa may have anti-atherogenic properties.[6]
