    "Agastache pallidiflora, commonly known as New Mexico Giant Hyssop or Bill Williams Mountain Giant Hyssop, is a plant in the mint family. It is used by the Ramah Navajo as a ceremonial chant lotion, for bad coughs, and the dried, pulverized root used as dusting powder for sores or cankers. The Ramah also use it a fumigant for "deer infection", as a febrifuge, and to protect from witches."
