The well-known indigenous plant buchu is about to become a lot more popular after new laboratory findings at Stellenbosch University recognised the healing properties of the herb.
Buchu (Agathosma betulina and A crenulata) is endemic to the Cape Floral Region of the Western Cape. Indigenous people knew the healing properties of the plant and used it to treat inflammation, bladder infections and pain. The fynbos plant was introduced to Cape settlers in the 16th century before rising to prominence in the US and Europe in perfumes and high-end teas.
