Savory is a medicinal herb belonging to the Labiatae family, used in the kitchen and in the medical field.
It is about 15cm high.
It has been used in the medical sector for a long time because of the antibacterial properties of its essential oil.
In fact, positive effects have been established specifically against oral stomatitis due to the use of prostheses (1) for which a topical application of the oil is recommended, but also positive effects against the growth of periodontal bacteria (2).
It has been shown to be effective against aflatoxins (3). For the record, the fungus that feeds them, Aspergillus parasiticum has seriously affected Italian and European maize in 2012, so much so that the Ministry of Health issued a circular of 14/09/2012 with which the competent bodies were warned of the danger to human health.
