Mountain savory - a little history
Mountain savory (Satureja montana), also known as Balkan savory, is a perennial herb. Its Latin name is "Satureja" and means "grass of satyrs". According to mythology, satyrs are mythical creatures who were famous for their unruly temper. In ancient Rome, the herb was used as a universal spice that was added to most dishes. Its hegemony continued until the first shipments of black pepper from India appeared. There are reports that many of the beekeepers in Rome planted savory near the hives. So the bees collected nectar from the aromatic plant as well. As a result, the honey acquired a unique taste, aroma and pollen composition, which was highly valued. A little later, however, the men of the ancient world discovered that savory is an aromatic stimulant and an indispensable aphrodisiac, the strongest known for its time.
During the Middle Ages, European tastes began to change and they replaced savory with traditional spices from India and the Middle East. They started adding savory to cakes and sweet baked goods. Thanks to monks, savory entered Central Europe in the 9th century. They were fascinated by the divine protection that the herb symbolized. Ancient doctors discovered that in addition to supporting erections, it can fight many diseases. First of all, it stimulated the digestive system and helped relieve the symptoms after the heavy eating typical of Rome and Greece.To this day, it is used to alleviate the effects of legumes such as beans, lentils and peas.

If you have infections accompanied by high fever, sore throat, stuffy nose and cough, make an inhalation by adding 2 drops of essential oil to 1 liter of boiling water. You can also mix 2 drops of essential oil with 10 ml. sweet almond oil and rub gently into the throat area.

MEDICAL APPLICATIONS OF MOUNTAIN SAVORY OIL
A 2019 study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial properties of mountain savory essential oil, alone and in combination with gentamicin, against gram-negative and gram-positive bacterial strains. Savory oil exhibits antimicrobial activity and induces synergistic interaction with gentamicin against reference and clinical bacterial strains. The obtained results encourage further studies to establish the bactericidal and antibiotic synergistic effect of mountain savory essential oil for combination therapy in clinical settings.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a type of bacteria that causes an infection that can be resistant to many antibiotics and that causes significant mortality and morbidity among patients. Scientists are investigating the effectiveness of individual plant essential oils and their combinations to combat methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Remarkably, lemongrass essential oil completely inhibited all MRSA growth.
Mountain savory and cinnamon essential oils showed significant inhibition of MRSA growth. The antimicrobial activity of these oils will serve to develop new drugs for medical use.
The antioxidant, antibacterial and antifungal activity of the essential oil of wild-growing Satureja montana was studied by scientists from Dalmatia, Croatia. The antimicrobial effect of mountain savory essential oil was tested against six strains of gram-negative bacteria, seven strains of gram-positive bacteria and two fungi Candida and Saccharomyces. The tested essential oil showed significant activity against Candida and gram-positive bacteria, especially Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus epidermidis and Listeria innocua, and among gram-negative bacteria, exceptional susceptibility was found in strains of Escherichia coli (2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.).

Exactly what I needed

Typischer Bohnenkrautduft, den ich aus meiner Kindheit in Omas Garten so mochte :) Der Duft wirkt auf die Konzentrationsfähigkeit / -stärke aus, so dass ich es oft in die Duftlampe gebe - ich empfehle gemischt mit Minze, das ist erfrischend - vor allem am Morgen - hilft mir in den Start des Tages am Arbeitsplatz!Liebevolle Verpackung fällt sogleich auf. Ich bin begeistert und empfehle das Produkt sehr gerne weiter
Ein wunderbares ätherisches Öl - hergestellt von einem kleinen sympathischen Familienbetrieb, das den gesamten Prozess von der Pflanzung bis zur Destillation selbst verantwortet. Die Herstellung kann durch ihre Beiträge im Internet fast "live" mitverfolgt werden. Empfehle ich gerne weiter!
Mein Nagelpilz ist innerhalb von 2 Wochen komplett weg! 5 Sterne!!! Bin total begeistert von der Qualität!
Ich kenne mich inzwischen gut mit ätherischen Ölen aus, aber dieses Öl kannte ich überhaupt nicht. Der Geruch ist zwar ziemlich intensiv, aber die Wirkung soll ja intensiv sein und das ist sie auf alle Fälle!Ich hatte immer wieder Fuß- und Nagelpilz, den ich früher konventionell behandelt hatte. Das hilft zwar kurzfristig, aber es kam immer wieder. Jetzt hatte ich wieder das gleiche Problem und hatte über Behandlungsmöglichkeiten mit diesem Öl gelesen und es über einen längeren Zeitraum auf den betroffenen
Ich nutze das Öl schon länger zur Stärkung der Abwehrkräfte. Ich tue 1-2 Tropfen Öl auf 1 El Honig, funktioniert super!Mache ich regelmäßig seit ca. 9 Monaten und war seitdem nicht mehr erkältet.
Perfect oil, quick delivery, highly recommended
