The Wild Sunflower (Aspilia africana) is a perennial herb distinguished by its bright yellow, daisy-like flowers and coarsely hairy, green leaves. Native to tropical Africa, it typically grows along roadsides, open grasslands, and cultivated fields. Traditionally valued for its medicinal properties, the plant has been used to promote wound healing, stop minor bleeding, and soothe skin irritations. Its leaves and flowers are rich in bioactive compounds such as flavonoids and saponins, which contribute to its role in reducing inflammation and supporting the body’s natural immune responses. The Wild Sunflower stands out both for its striking appearance and its significant role in traditional African medicine.
