\u00a0From the Jan\/Feb
\n2015 issue of The Essential Herbal\u00a0<\/a>
The following article was written in response to the IHA Herb of the Year\u00ae as we try to do each year.\u00a0 For instance, we’re aiming to include something about yarrow in each issue this year for the same reason.\u00a0 We find that we learn so much about these herbs when we really look at them individually!
Right now, Herb Society of America is honoring Savory as their herb of the month, and so I pulled this article out to share!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Seasonal Savorys<\/span>
<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Savory
\nSaturea ssp.<\/i><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

There
\nare two types of Savory, Winter (Satureia<\/i> montana)<\/i> and Summer
\n(Satureja hortensis).\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>They are from the
\nLamiaceae, or Mint family.\u00a0 <\/span>Winter Savory
\nis a semi-evergreen perennial and blooms in winter.\u00a0 <\/span>Summer Savory is an annual.\u00a0 <\/span>Although Winter Savory has a sharp flavor and
\nSummer Savory is more sweet, they are used interchangeably as a seasoning. The
\nname itself has come to mean a specific type of food, full of flavor and
\ndepth.\u00a0 <\/span>The piney and peppery Winter
\nSavory is (in my mind) more responsible for that.\u00a0 <\/span>Folklore has it that Winter Savory decreases
\nthe sex drive, while Summer Savory enhances it, <\/span>so you may want to keep that in mind
\nwhile flavoring those side dishes.\u00a0
\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Savory
\nis known as “the bean herb.”\u00a0
\n<\/span>In fact the German word for the herb is Bohenkraut – which means bean
\nherb and that might be due to its ability to help with bloating, and
\nflatulence.\u00a0 <\/span>It can be made into a tea as
\nwell as used as a seasoning, and helps with colic, stomach upsets, diarrhea,
\nand indigestion, and because it contains tannins as well as possessing
\nantibiotic properties, it helps with sore throats.\u00a0 <\/span>It is also mildly expectorant.\u00a0 <\/span>It can help relieve abdominal cramping. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On
\nthe west coast, varieties of Savory (as well as several other herbs) may go by
\nthe nickname Yerba Buena.\u00a0 <\/span>Satureja
\ndouglasii<\/i> and Satureja viminea<\/i> are two of these that are made into
\nteas and sipped as “the good herb.”\u00a0
\n<\/span>However, depending on location, there are several mints and quite a few
\nother plants that also go by that moniker.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It
\ncan be made into a mild salve to help with insect stings and rashes.\u00a0 <\/span>To do that, one would simply steep the Savory
\nin a fat or oil, strain, and combine with enough beeswax to make it the proper
\nfeel.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Winter
\nSavory was used in knot gardens during the Tudor era in England, and often
\nbeehives were located near them so that the honey would be flavored with the
\nherb.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Both
\nWinter and Summer Savory grow easily and quickly from seed.\u00a0 <\/span>They aren’t fussy, but Summer Savory might
\ngrow so quickly that it falls over, so be sure to cut it often and use it!\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

If
\nyou don’t get around to using it right away, Savory dries beautifully.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Savory
\ncontains essential oil\u00a0 <\/span>Commercially it
\nis used in soaps and toothpastes. As with all essential oils, this one will
\ncause skin irritation if used without proper dilution.\u00a0 <\/span>It should not be taken internally.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All
\nin all, not a bad little herb to have around.<\/span><\/p>\n
