African basil is mainly used to treat diabetes, but also dysentery, colds, parasitic infections, fevers and joint inflammation. Recent studies have highlighted its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral qualities. The essential oil of the leaves is used to treat respiratory problems and as an antipyretic.
