I don't know about the plant, but I did start some seeds yesterday, which I obtained when I bought lots and lots of medicinal herbs a few months ago. I was planning on using some to treat coughs. Hope the plant does not give me grievances.

My friend tells me that even though it is in the mint family, it doesn't like lots of water

Yes, it's a member of the mint family, and is considered an expectorant, meaning it will help bring stuff up and out of the lungs
