*Grindelia chiloensis*, commonly known as brittleblow or desert globemallow, has been traditionally used for its medicinal properties, particularly for its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. The plant contains a high concentration of resinous compounds, which contribute to its ability to soothe respiratory conditions such as bronchitis and asthma. Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest have historically used *Grindelia chiloensis* to treat wounds, skin irritations, and respiratory ailments, often applying its resin topically or inhaling its smoke. Modern research suggests that the plant's compounds may have potential in treating inflammatory diseases and as a natural remedy for respiratory discomfort. However, due to its strong, unpleasant odor, it is often mixed with other plants to improve its palatability and effectiveness in medicinal preparations.
