Medicinal Uses Section needs further updating

The Medicinal uses section needs more sourcing to scientific and medical research journals in order to meet wikipedia standards. Right now the section reads a little too much like advertising copy for the grower's board for the herb to meet the standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.34.55 (talk) 22:41, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I deleted 2 short paras in the section that are wrong and/or meaningless:
Ethanolic extract (1:1) tested against eleven species of bacteria and five species of fungi. The hole-plate diffusion method pointed at the strongest activity against Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina flava, Candida tropicalis and Candida krusei.[4] - this is meaningless to anyone not familiar with the jargon - at least explain the technical terms.
Chemical Constituents: Carvacrol (30 - 75%), thymol (1.0 - 5.0%), p-cymene (10 - 20%), gamma-terpineol (2.0 - 10%), 1,8-cineole (3.8%), borneol (12.5%), alpha-terpineol (2.5%) - this is obvious rubbish. The plant is not 30-75% made of carvacrol. I think the author of the para may be referring to the essential oil of the plant having the stated constitution, but if so that needs to be stated.
If someone wants to re-instate the information please clarify what is meant. Newburyjohn (talk) 10:45, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The reference for the following line "It is used as a companion plant for beans, keeping bean weevils away, and also roses, reducing mildew and aphids.[2]" links to a commercial seed seller page. That is not proof of anything. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:A601:22F:B500:B43C:3182:840F:F91E (talk) 12:45, 22 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Native distribution needs better sources

This article calls it native to Africa, however the various sources disagree on this. Plants For a Future makes it native to Africa, but the more reliable GRIN lists it native only in Eurasia. ~ 2601:441:4400:1740:F175:F068:A9F2:9B56 (talk) 17:48, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
