Dictammus - Crete, Greece
The fragrance of herbs growing in the rocky mountains of Crete is undoubtedly the most characteristic smell of Cretan nature.
Dictamnus is an endemic plant with grey-green velvety leaves that grows in steep mountainsides and in the rocky walls of gorges in Crete. In Minoan times as well as in ancient Greece it was considered as one of the most significant therapeutic plants and not without a reason. Dictamnus has antiseptic and tonic properties, soothes the digestive system and relieves stomach disorders, helps in the recovery from the flu and the common cold, is beneficial for headaches and acts as antidiabetic. Enjoy it as a herb infusion: add two spoonful of dictamnus in boiled water, leave it for five minutes and then throw away the leaves of the herb. Ideally, you can add a spoonful of Felea thyme honey and you have a tonic, soothing and aromatic infusion.
