The leaves were brewed into teas for coughs, fevers, and respiratory infections, and also used as a warming digestive aid.

Current Uses:
In modern herbalism, Anise Hyssop is valued as a carminative, expectorant, and mild nervine. The leaves and flowers are used to support digestion, calm nervous tension, and ease mild respiratory congestion. Its pleasant, naturally sweet flavor makes it a favorite in herbal teas for colds, coughs, and stress relief.
Energetically, it uplifts the heart and lightens emotional heaviness, offering both comfort and clarity. Topically, its mild antiseptic properties make it useful in washes or steams for skin health and respiratory clearing.
