Curiosidades: Comúnmente conocida en Angola como Capungo-pungo, es probablemente la planta medicinal aromática menos valorada de África. Se utiliza para tratar una variedad de dolencias medicinales, así como para el control de plagas en almacenes de granos. Parte del potencial de Wild Verbena ha salido a la luz recientemente. Investigaciones recientes se han centrado en las evaluaciones farmacológicas como antiinflamatorio, antiespasmódico, para enfermedades respiratorias, antipalúdico, edulcorante y repelente y en los principios activos involucrados [3]. Es la hierba vegetal tradicional más utilizada como antiséptico, analgésico, anticonvulsivo, sedante, antiinfeccioso, remedio para la tos y como tónico general y también se utiliza a menudo en la terapia de inhalación.

Evidencia Científica
| Effect | Route used in the experiment | Source |
| Antimicrobial activity | Time kill assays – Klebsiella pneumoniae (gram- negative), Cryptococcus neoformans (yeast)
and Bacillus cereus (gram- positive). |
[7] [8] |
| Antimicrobial and antioxidant activity | ß-Carotene agar diffusion assay – very effective against P. aeruginosa. Good antioxidant activity but less effective than
T.minuta and F.vulgare essential oils. |
[9] |
| Antioxidant activity | free radical
scavenging (DPPH) assay – antioxidant potential displayed by the oil might be possibly due to the presence of germacrene D. However, it was not as strong as the standard ascorbic acid. |
[10] |
| Antibacterial activity | agar dilution
technique – strong activities against the gram-positiva and gram- negative bacteria tested |
[11] |
