ABSTRACT

This herb is the dried aerial parts (branches and leaves) of Agastache rugosus (Fisch. et May) O. Ktze or Pogostemon cablin (Blanco) Benth of the family Labiatae (Jiang Su New Medical College, 1977). It is chiefly grown in the Guangdong province of China and harvested in summer. This plant is not indigenous to China, having been introduced from India and other parts of Southeastern Asia (Smith and Stuart, 1973). Agastache is either cut into pieces, dried, and used unprocessed, or the fresh herb is used. This herb is a Damp-resolving stomachic. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9780203050040/86743b54-459f-4502-a9f1-33f21b13726a/content/figpg429_001_B.jpg" xmlns:xlink="https://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"/>
