Agastache, commonly known as anise hyssop or Korean mint, has a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly within East Asian systems such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (where Agastache rugosa is known as Huo Xiang). In these traditions, Agastache is primarily used to treat digestive disorders, nausea, and to "dispel dampness." However, some historical texts and ethnobotanical records mention its use for calming effects or as a mild relaxant, which has led to its occasional inclusion in herbal blends aimed at supporting mood or reducing anxiety symptoms. Despite this, there is a lack of robust scientific research specifically examining Agastache’s efficacy for anxiety. While a few preliminary studies have explored its essential oils and their possible effects on the central nervous system in animal models, these do not provide high-quality evidence for its use in anxiety management. The traditional use for anxiety is therefore relatively weak and not a primary indication in most herbal medicine systems. Modern herbalists may sometimes suggest Agastache as part of a calming tea blend, but this recommendation is based more on historical precedent and anecdotal reports rather than on clinical trials or well-established pharmacological evidence.
