Perilla frutescens is an annual plant growing up to one metre high. It is native to China, where it is part of traditional medicine and cuisine. It most commonly occurs in sunny locations at altitudes of around 1,200m. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and its structure is comparable to nettle or lemon balm. Its leaves are a deep green, sometimes purple, and it has a square stem. Its scent is vaguely reminiscent of lemongrass. The part collected for phytotherapeutic purposes is the leaf, which is used internally.
Perilla helps maintain the normal function of the respiratory system and affects the production of cytokines and specific antibodies.
