I know some Dragonhead, like moldavica, can be used for tea, but can't find any info on whether Dracocephalum argunese is edible. I was given 12 plants and would love to find a use for them, either edible or medicinal.
If anyone processes it for medicinal uses, what form is best; tincture, tonic, tea, salve?

As near as I can find out it has no traditional medical uses in Chinese herbal medicine. It is being investigated for medicinal uses but it is too early to predict results. Personally I would not use it till more facts are in.

Thanks for your efforts. I guess I'll relegate it to a corner until I learn more. The light blue flower is very attractive so not a complete loss.
