Grindelia may act as an expectorant and sedative, with an action resembling atropine. It has been recommended for bladder health concerns and catarrh of the bladder, but its principal use is in bronchial catarrh, especially when there is any asthmatic tendency. It supports dyspnoea due to heart health issues, has been successfully employed in whooping cough and as a local application in rhus poisoning, burns, genito-urinary catarrh, etc. As its active principle is excreted from the kidneys, it sometimes produces signs of renal irritation; in chronic catarrh of the bladder it stimulates the mucous membrane.
