“…This natural compound has high amounts of flavonoids and phenolic acids, being used worldwide in traditional medicine, as well as in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food applications due to its antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antiproliferative, anticarcinogenic, and antioxidant properties.
