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. It is also used in Africa to ward off mosquitoes carrying malaria and dengue fever.
