DEFINITION
-
The Lemon Bush (Lippia javanica) is a strongly fragrant, medicinal plant indigenous to southern and tropical Africa. A hardy, untidy, multi-stemmed shrub of the open grassveld and bushveld, it gives off an intense lemon scent when crushed. Traditionally the leaves have been used for their strong scent as an insect repellant and placed in linen cupboards and potpourri jars, or medicinally in an infusion for fevers, ’flu, coughs, colds and chest complaints. The plant has also been used topically for treating skin rashes and, in strong concentrations, scabies and lice.
