Create a new Treatment using this IngredientDescription: Satureja is used Traditional medicine for various aliments. A study carried out on it proved its antibacterial and antifungal activities. It is a genus of aromatic plants belonging to the family Lamiaceae or the mint family, related to rosemary and thyme. There are about 30 species called savories, of which Summer Savory and Winter Savory are the most important in cultivation. Satureja species are native to warm temperate regions and may be annual or perennial. They are low-growing herbs and subshrubs, reaching heights of 15-50 cm. The leaves are 1 to 3 cm long, with flowers forming in whorls on the stem, white to pale pink-violet. Satureja species are food plants for the larva of some Lepidoptera like butterflies and moths. Caterpillars of the moth Coleophora bifrondella feed exclusively on Winter Savory. Savory may be grown purely for ornamental purposes; members of the genus need sun and well-drained soil. Savory has a strong aromatic flavour. This pungency has led to savory being used as a (poor) substitute for black pepper, intended for those who have to avoid pepper for some medical reason.
