The Plant
Plant part: Flowering Summit
Origin: France
Native to the Black Sea and southern Europe, Savory is an aromatic, honey-bearing shrub that was introduced into Central Europe around the 9th century. Frequently grown in gardens in the Middle Ages, Savory was included in spice blends, and was often said to promise long life to its users. In fact, savory, with its pungent, peppery flavor, is one of the most invigorating of all plants. It has a powerful physical action, and is recommended during winter, or when morale is low.
Like Oregano, Mountain Savory is characterized by its high Carvacrol content. In aromatherapy, the flowering tops are used to extract the precious essential oil, rich in carvacrol, and the hydrolat. These two products derived from the distillation of Savory are both recommended for their antibacterial, antiparasitic, immunity-stimulating and digestive properties. To guarantee the traceability and quality of our Essential Oil and Hydrolat, Essenciagua has chosen to distill Savory harvested in France.
Mountain Savory Hydrolat has many benefits, notably as a 3-week course of treatment to prepare for winter ailments, but also as a choice ally for the skin.

Common questions
How to use Savory?
Often used to flavor our dishes, Savory is a powerful antibacterial. In aromatherapy and phytotherapy, it is recommended for its virtues in the digestive sphere, for its stimulating action on immunity and against fatigue. It can be used in several ways:
-Essential Oil: Always diluted to avoid irritation, Savory Essential Oil should be used with caution (adults only):
1. cutaneous: Essential Oil can be massaged into the skin to aid digestion and combat urinary tract infections;
2. orally: this oil can be diluted on a carrier for internal use. This method of use should be very short-lived, preferably under the supervision of a therapist. Savory essential oil is also available in capsule form, for use as a course of treatment;
3. diffusion or inhalation: helps stimulate and tone the body in cases of physical fatigue or parasitosis.
-Hydrolat : Savory Hydrolat can be used topically or as an inhalant. Milder than essential oil, it can be used for more sensitive individuals.
-Infusion: Alone or in a blend of herbs, Savory is a must for digestive infusions. To infuse, place a teaspoonful of Savory in a teapot, then pour in simmering water. Leave to infuse for a few minutes before drinking.
