Dracocephalum moldavica has traditionally been used to fortify the blood, as a diaphoretic, sedative, anti-convulsant, anti-inflammatory and vulnerary, and to treat atherosclerosis, hepatitis, bronchitis, tracheitis, hypertension, gall bladder infections, vertigo, colds, heart problems, headaches, toothaches, digestive problems, etc. The plant has been used for centuries by the Uyghur people in their daily lives, and is consumed in the same way as tea. Numerous pharmacological studies have confirmed the plant's age-old traditional uses, in particular as a tonicardiac, as an antiemetic (i.e. to combat altitude sickness), as an antioxidant, as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease, as an anti-microbial, as an analgesic, etc. It can even be used as an anti-inflammatory. It can even be used in agriculture to combat the invasion of undesirable hosts such as corn weevil (Sitophilus zeamais), grain weevil (Tribolium castaneum) or cowpea weevil (Callosobruchus maculatus).
