Medicinal Use
In traditional medicine, a decoction of the leaves of this plant is used to treat headache, fever and digestive disorders. "Salvia africana-lutea was used by early Europeans settlers in the Western Cape as an infusion to treat colds Before the discovery of antibiotics, it was frequently prepared as a component of herbal tea mixtures, to treat tuberculosis and chronic bronchitis. The cultural use still continues today, for example, Salvia africana–lutea is collected fresh when needed or sold in dried or semi-dried bundles comprising mainly of leaves or occasionally flowers and fruits. The traditional healers in the Western Cape Province prescribe a decoction of Salvia africana–lutea to treat respiratory ailments, influenza, gynaecological complaints, fever, headaches and digestive disorders. Leaves of Salvia runcinata are administered to infants as a purgative . Van Wyk and Wink (2004) reported that Salvia africana–caerulea and other Salvia species are used as cold and flu medicines. Salvia repens is added to a bath to treat sores on the body, while a decoction prepared from the roots is taken orally to treat stomachache and diarrhoea. The smoke obtained through burning the plant is used to disinfect a hut and also used as an insect repellent . A decoction of Salvia runcinata has been used by Europeans for the relief and the treatment of urticaria. The Zulu use a paste of crushed leaves as a purgative for infants, while the Xhosa administer extracts of the leaves to newly born babies."[4]
