Its leaves with their frankly intoxicating scent go well with mint, coriander and basil. In addition to being a beautiful ornamental plant, purple shiso is renowned for its many medicinal properties. All its parts, from leaves to seeds, are used. Traditionally, purple shiso is used in multiple treatments including nausea, abdominal pain and even colds.
