Lantana camara is a shrubby plant with pungent leaves that grows rampant in many parts of the world, including Southern Africa. Its many hued brightly coloured flowers are clustered at the tips of each stem. It produces an herbaceous, fruity, floral, resinous essential oil from the pungent leaves.  Lantana is excellent for chronic bronchitis and asthma when steam inhaled with anti-viral, anti-catarrh, anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic and anti-infectious therapeutic actions to clear breathing passages and unclog phlegm. It calms a stressed mind and is a mild anti-septic for the healing of sores. The ketones in Lantana essential oil are toxic if used for longer than necessary, the reason it is used therapeutically only, for immediate calming of symptoms.
