Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Agastache urticifolia, commonly known as nettleleaf giant hyssop, has a history of traditional use among Native American peoples, particularly for respiratory support, which includes the sinuses. Ethnobotanical records indicate that various tribes used infusions or decoctions of the leaves to treat colds, coughs, and congestion. The plant was valued for its aromatic qualities, which were believed to help open nasal passages and support easier breathing. However, while these uses are well-documented in traditional medicine, there is a lack of modern scientific studies specifically validating Agastache urticifolia for sinus support. No clinical trials or pharmacological research directly confirm its efficacy for sinus health. The rating of 2 reflects that, while there is meaningful traditional use, evidence from scientific research is absent. The plant’s use for the sinuses is thus justified primarily by historical and anecdotal accounts rather than contemporary scientific validation.
