*"Panadol plant"* isn’t an official name — it’s a nickname people in Nigeria and West Africa use for *a plant that looks and smells like menthol/balm*, and is used locally for headaches, colds, and pain.
There are 2 plants it usually refers to:
1. *Cuban Oregano / Mexican Mint*
*Scientific name*: _Plectranthus amboinicus_
*Other names*: Spanish thyme, Indian borage, country borage, "Panadol plant"
*Why it’s called Panadol plant:*
- The leaves smell like a mix of oregano, mint, and Vicks VapoRub because they’re high in thymol and carvacrol.
- In Nigeria, people crush the leaves and inhale, or boil for steam inhalation to relieve nasal congestion, headache, and cold symptoms — same way Panadol/menthol works.
- Some also rub the crushed leaves on the forehead for tension headaches.
