Herbs
Being a natural product, herbs have been used since Ancient times in Greece. The variety of herbs and spices in the Greek countryside gave the Ancient Greeks the ingredients to flavor their food, as well as the possibility to cure people. This reflected in the famous quote of Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BC), physician and the father of medicine: “Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food”. The rich soil in Greece, the presence of mountains and sea as well as the warm climate, are a perfect combination for the herbs to grow and produce an excellent quality. Moreover, chefs from all across Europe prefer Greece’s naturally grown herbs over others. (for example: chamomile, mountain tea, sage, basil, thyme and oregano).
Greek Lemon Verbena Tea “TRADIFRESH” 20gr (0.70oz)
Although native to South America, the lemon verbena herb grows well in the mountains of Greece where it has become the go-to leaf for making a delicious tea known as Louisa in English and luiza in Greek (λουΐζα) and pronounced the same in English and Greek—loo-WEE-zah.
While the jury is still out on its health benefits, Louisa is touted to have a stimulative effect on the digestive tract; thus, the belief is that it aids in slimming. It also is believed to help the urinary system, fight against fevers, have a calming effect on the nerves, and aid those with joint pain, asthma, colds, skin conditions, and chills.
