Lovage - a little history
The Lovage was also known in Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. Famous healers such as Hippocrates, Avicenna, Galen recommend lovage boiled or soaked in wine for brain diseases, to disperse swellings - internal and external, as a purifying agent, against nocturnal enuresis, and mixed with honey - to cleanse and strengthen the body in case of poisoning.
An ancient Greek legend describes how the lovage herb grew from the tears of the beautiful Helen, who was kidnapped by Paris. That is why in Europe the plant is often called "Deer herb". The lovage is believed to be a symbol of health and female beauty.
The Slavs believed that the herb had 9 healing powers, and the Chinese credited it with the ability to cure 99 diseases. The commander Suvorov, during the transition through the Alps, gave his soldiers an infusion of lovage to increase their strength and fighting skills. As early as 1882, it was found that lovage inhibited the spread of tuberculosis bacteria. In Germany this plant is considered inimical to sorcerers and is associated with love magic, hence its name 'Liebstöckel'.
According to folk beliefs, the lovage possesses another hidden power - cleansing power - it protects from negative energy influences, not only the residents of the home, but also the entire house, which is why it is planted in front of the front door of the house to drive away bad forces and thoughts.
Supports detoxification and kidney health
Lovage essential oil excels as a powerful diuretic, known as an aquaretic, which promotes urination without causing excessive electrolyte loss. This much healthier form of urination supports the important organic process of detoxification without the risk of dehydration while improving kidney health. Increased urination releases accumulated toxins, clears calcified particles from the kidneys and helps prevent kidney stones. Along with this, it helps to clear the urinary tract, which prevents possible urinary tract. If you suffer from urinary tract infections, you can make a compress by adding 5 drops of lovage essential oil to a bowl of warm water. Then put a small cotton cloth on top of the water and let it soak. Squeeze it well and place it on the painful area. Repeat until the towel cools down to body temperature.
Tones the digestive system
One of the well-studied uses of lovage essential oil is as an antispasmodic and digestive tonic. Studies have shown that lovage oil has the ability to increase the secretory and motor function of the gastrointestinal tract and thus moderately improve impaired digestion. It can also help eliminate flatulence and irritation in the intestines and thus promote healthy bowel movement. To reap the benefits of lovage oil, you can dilute it with a carrier oil and rub it into the abdominal area.
Helps with psoriasis
Why not supplement your treatment and help soothe your psoriasis with lovage essential oil? The anti-inflammatory and soothing properties of lovage oil can be very helpful in reducing the symptoms of psoriasis and acne. Fortunately, lovage essential oil is a natural product and can be used safely over a long period of time. You can use lovage oil in several ways. If you're stressed, consider applying diluted lovage oil to your temples or adding a few drops to your aroma diffuser. This can help clear the mind and possibly manage the stress caused by psoriasis.
The topical application of the oil in the form of an ointment or in a cream recipe to lubricate the affected parts is especially effective. To do this, apply a little coconut oil on the skin of the affected area and drop 1 to 2 drops of lovage essential oil and rub on the scaly patches of skin. This works very well to relieve irritation, soothe itching and reduce inflammation.
Acts as an anti-allergen
Many of the health benefits of lovage essential oil are attributed to its anti-allergic nature. Its action as an anti-allergen is based on its ability to calm the effects of allergens and reduce the body's allergic response, remove unpleasant symptoms such as itching, red eyes, runny nose, soothe the mucous membrane and prevent other more serious allergic reactions.
Stimulates positive emotions and creativity
Do you often feel like you lack a muse, creativity, or creative mind? Do you feel stuck in any way? An easy solution that will help you get out of the dead end is lovage oil. In such conditions, inhale deeply the aroma of the oil and allow its power to unfold and work positively. The aroma of the oil will reconnect you with your inner creativity and activate your abstract thinking.
MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF LOVAGE OIL
A 2018 study published in the Iranian Journal of Microbiology evaluated the chemical composition and anti-tuberculosis activity of the essential oil extracted from the aerial parts of the Levisticum officinale plant. The results show that lovage oil is active against the multidrug-resistant bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main cause of human tuberculosis. The researchers concluded that it will be interesting to isolate the essential oil compounds and evaluate their anti-tuberculosis activity separately, because based on the molecular docking studies done in the present study, it was shown that the predominant essential oil compounds have a high affinity to inhibit an important enzyme in the biosynthesis of the cell wall of the aerobic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
Another in vitro clinical study published in the Chemistry Journal of Moldova investigated the antibacterial and antifungal effects of lovage essential oil on five strains of microorganisms. Lovage essential oil has been found to exhibit high antibacterial and antifungal properties in the concentration range of 0.015-0.030%. Its antimicrobial properties are due to the high content of the compounds: β-phellandrene, α-terpinyl acetate and (Z)-ligustilide, which show different mechanisms of inhibition and destruction of the cells of pathogenic microorganisms.

Remember that lymphatic drainage massage is not aimed at warming up the muscles, so forget about applying movements with force or pressure. All movements are stroking and taps are soft, and the direction of movements should be consistent with the direction of movement of the lymph – from the periphery of the body to the nearest lymph nodes, in which the slags are processed and discarded.
