DITTANY, THE MAGIC HERB OF CRETE
Dittany (diktamos) grows only in Crete. The locals called it also
&#8220;eronda&#8221;, which means love, for its aphrodisiac
properties. Popular in Minoan Crete and Ancient Greece, it is
considered a highly therapeutic plant. Hippocrates recommended it for
stomach and digestive system diseases, rheumatism, arthritis and used
it to regulate menses, to tone and heal. It was named after the
mountain Dikty (Lassithiotika) where it teems.
