Organic Lovage Leaf -
Levisticum officinale, 1 lb, (Mountain Rose Herbs)
Quercetin is what makes lovage an excellent allergy cure, and also an excellent treatment for bronchitis, indigestion, and colic. Grieve?s Herbal notes that the roots, leaves and fruits are antispasmodic, aromatic, carminative, diaphoretic, digestive, diuretic, mildly expectorant and stimulant. The leaves eaten as a vegetable or used several times a day as an herb may stimulate menstruation. Modern herbalists also use lovage to treat kidney stones, urinary tract infections, and to relieve flatulence and gas pains.
Lovage is a flowering plant in the same family as carrots, parsley, and dill. Its dark green leaves resemble cilantro, while the stalks resemble celery. The herb is sweeter but stronger than celery. Brought from Europe as both a food and as a medicinal, it now grows wild in the United States in New England, the Great Lakes states, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico. For centuries, it has been thought of as a good ingredient to add to love potions. During the 1800's a cordial made from lovage, tansy, and yarrow was widely available as a folk remedy for an upset stomach. Charlemagne was said to have liked the sight of lovage so much so that he had the grounds of his estate populated with it.
Also known as: Levisticum officinale, Garden Lovage, Sea Parsley and Love root.
