C. salviifolius is traditionally used as a tea substitute, ointment, or as a cicatrizing or astringent agent. The antibacterial activity of C. salviifolius is not only related to its essential oils or terpenes (Gertsch, 2011; Güvenç et al., 2005; Morales-Soto et al., 2015) but also to its polyphenolic compounds.
