    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To study the history of introduction and herbal medicine of Pogostemon cablin by textual researches and clarify the confusion in literatures. METHOD: Textual research on historical literatures, practical applications and field investigation were adopted. RESULT: The varieties of P. cablin for therapeutic uses were not chaotic, however there has existed confusion between P. cablin and Agastache rugosus in descriptions of appellation, habitat and characteristic of the original plants. CONCLUSION: It was proved that the term "Huoxiang" in Chinese medicinal works before Ming Dynasty was pointed to P. cablin. The cultivation history of P. cablin in China was traced to Liang Dynasty or before.
