Greek Lemon Verbena Dried Whole Leaves 85g – 1.95Kg | Harvest 2023

Certified Greek Product – Lemon Verbena of exceptional qualityProducer – Αgriculturist: Paraskeyaidis Giorgos, Polipotamos Evias, Mosxovoli Farm Harvest : June 2023Expiration Date: Provided on the packageScintific Name : Aloysia citrodora Lemon verbena leaves are used to add a lemon flavor to fish and poultry dishes, vegetable marinades, salad dressings, jams, puddings, Greek yogurt and beverages. It also is used to make herbal teas, or added to standard tea in place of actual lemon (as is common with Moroccan tea). It can also be used to make a sorbet. In addition, it has anti-Candida albicans activity.In the European Union, Verbena essential oils (Lippia citriodora Kunth.) and derivatives other than absolute are prohibited when used as a fragrance ingredient (Commission Directive 2009/164/EU of 22 December 2009). Moderate antioxidant supplementation with lemon verbena extract protects neutrophils against oxidative damage, decreasing the signs of muscular damage in chronic running exercise without blocking the cellular adaptation to exercise. Aloysia citriodora extract shows antioxidant properties that could play an important role in modulating GSH-reductase activity in lymphocytes and erythrocytes and protecting plasma from exercise oxidative damage. Lemon verbena extract containing 25% verbascoside showed strong antioxidant capacity, especially in a lipophilic environment, which was higher than expected as concluded from the antioxidant capacity of pure verbascoside, probably due to synergistic effects. The capacity of verbascoside to act as an effective radical scavenger in lipophilic environments was also shown. Verbascoside-enriched extracts might have interesting applications in cosmetic, nutraceuticals or functional food. Although some “in vitro” genotoxicity of verbascoside has been reported on human lymphocytes with an involvement of PARP-1 and p53 proteins, subsequent “in vivo” tests reported no genotoxicity for high dosage oral administration.

Wild Greek Chamomile Dried Flowers 85g (3.1oz) Premium Quality Harvest 2024

Certified Greek ProductOrigin : Polipotamos Evias , Evia Island , GreeceScientific Name : Matricaria ChamomillaHarvest : May 2024Expiration Date: Provided on the package Camomile (or chamomile) takes its name from the Greek words for “ground” and “apple,” because it grows close to the ground and its strong aroma is reminiscent of apples. It is one of the most loved teas in Greece and is regularly gathered in the wild, washed thoroughly, and laid out to dry at home. Physical characteristics: Dried leaves are narrow and spear-shaped, 1/2-inch to 1-inch long and light tan to pale green. Flowers are 1/4-inch diameter yellow-orange bulbs. Stems are 1/16-inch diameter and shades of brown. In the wild, fields of camomile look like a light dusting of snow. Making Camomile Tea: Using the dried flowers and leaves, the basic “recipe” for camomile is 1 rounded teaspoon of dried flowers boiled in water and strained for each cup of tea. Honey is a favorite sweetener, and it also tastes delightful with a squeeze of lemon or lime. (A sprinkle of cinnamon adds an interesting taste.) Therapeutic Effects: In Greece, camomile is enjoyed for its wonderful taste, but it is also attributed with medicinal properties that have come down through the centuries (see history, below). It is thought that camomile relieves upset stomachs and indigestion, calms and relaxes, and promotes sleep. Origin, History, and Mythology: Botanists classify camomile as two major varieties: Anthemis nobilis, the Roman variety, and Matricaria recutita, the German variety. Both grow wild in most temperate climates. Camomile re-seeds itself and is considered an annual and a perennial – depending on which expert you ask. The ancient Egyptians believed camomile to be a sacred herb and associated its use with their sun god Ra. Camomile has been used since ancient times for a variety of medicinal and therapeutic purposes. Dioscorides – a Greek physician, pharmacologist, and botanist with Roman Emperor Nero’s army – prescribed camomile for several gastrointestinal disorders, nervous conditions, and liver disorders. Other medicinal uses for camomile preparations were to treat women’s ailments and kidney stones. Experienced gardeners think of camomile as a “Plant Doctor” herb because it has a remedial and healthy effect on neighboring plants – especially plants which appear weak or “sick.” SHIPPING Your payment will reach us immediately.
