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.
