Aztec Sweet Herb is a Mexican herb used since at least the time of the Aztecs for coughs, colds, bronchitis, asthma and colic. Aztec Sweet Herb is a vining tropical plant, now being investigated as a natural sugar substitute. The leaves have an intense sweetness much more than cane sugar. An extract from them is used in South America as a sweetener. The plant does nicely in a hanging basket and is almost always in flower with white blooms.
