Bush carrot, also known as wild carrot, offers several potential health benefits due to its rich phytochemical composition. These include antioxidant, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Specifically, wild carrots have been traditionally used to treat infections, inflammation and even cancer. Its seed oil is also used for digestive issues and to stimulate menstruation.
