| dc.description.abstract | Lippia javanica is a widely spread woody shrub and the major traditional use is reflected in its vernacular name; fever tea ' koorsbossie '. An infusion of the leaves is also used as a decongestant for colds and coughs. Infusions may also be used topically to treat scabies and lice A preliminary study indicated that the essential oil chemistry varies dramatically both within and between natural plant populations. | en_ZA |
