Winter savory (Satureja montana) grows in the mountains of the Mediterranean and elsewhere in Europe…
Which is why it’s sometimes also called “mountain savory.”
It was used by the Ancient Romans and Greeks…
And over the course of the last 2,000 years, it’s earned the reputation as an “herb of happiness.”
A cousin of sage, it’s also used as a culinary herb – one that pairs PERFECTLY with foods you might have a hard time digesting, like beans and meats.
For MILLENNIA, it’s been heralded for its ability to relieve gas and bloating… nausea… and even diarrhea.
But that’s not all…
Because it also functions as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent.
Winter savory essential oil is particularly rich in carvacrol, a substance found in other infection-fighting spices like oregano and thyme.
That explains why our earliest pharmacists used it to help treat cases of food poisoning.
Modern science has revealed that winter savory oil works specifically against such food-borne pathogens as Listeria monocytogenes and E. coli…
By SABOTAGING their ability to form the biofilms that typically SHIELD them from being killed off.
Winter savory oil has also been shown to inhibit growth of Candida albicans, the main culprit behind yeast infections.
Look for fresh or dried winter savory at your local spice market or herb garden. Depending on the climate where you live, you may even be able to grow your own!
Or, it may also be available in tincture form at your local health food store or online.
In Germany, it’s commercially available as “Bergbohnenkraut” (“mountain bean herb”).
