Miller & Morris (1988) wrote that: "The flowers of this smaller plant are delicious smelling, and were plucked and held to the nose to ward off evil smells and malignant influences which were considered to be an important factor in causing illness and disease. The flowering parts or scented leaves of this plant are gathered and rubbed between the palms and over the body as a perfume and deodorant. Sweet fragrances helped to build up resistance to disease and infection, and acted as protection against illness caused by the evil eye, dangerous influences or wizardry". (Ref. Plants of Dhofar; 1988).
