Does anyone here use perilla frutescens (beefsteak plant)? Have you noticed any difference with it? Has it helped your allergies? I know it grows wild around much of the country but didn't know it had medicinal properties. I just read that it is supposed to have anti-inflammatory and anti-allergy properties and wondered if anyone here had personal experience with that.

Well, we grow it here and use it to make kkaennip, which is a Korean side dish, good with rice and dumplings. I didn't know it was good for allergies, and I have my share of allergies, so I'll be interested to hear if it works (and what you're supposed to do with it)....

Here is some information about it from the plant database:
