Scientific Summary

Trichostema lanatum is a flowering herb of the mint family that produces glandular trichomes bearing a mildly aromatic oil. It is traditionally used to soothe coughs, sore throats, and bronchial irritation, and its antimicrobial properties have been applied to dress minor wounds, treat scabies, and as an eyewash. Use in moderate amounts is generally safe, but the herb can irritate sensitive skin and mucous membranes; avoid use if you have allergies to mint family plants or if you are pregnant.
