The 22 species of the Agastache genus contain mainly terpenoids and phenylpropanoids. Sylwia Zielinska and Adam Matkowski have highlighted their anti-viral, anti-microbial, anti-mutagenic, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-nociceptive, anti-atherogenic and antioxidant medicinal properties. The Native American peoples of the USA used it, in combination with other plants, to relieve burns caused by poison ivy. The essential oil of this agastache has also been the subject of research into the fungicidal properties of these plants.
