It has been traditionally used in folk medicine for its medicinal properties, including its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects, which are attributed to the presence of sesquiterpene lactones and other bioactive compounds.

The health benefits of Zinnia microglossa include its potential to reduce inflammation, improve wound healing, and exhibit antioxidant activity.
