These are the Greek medicinal herbs I reach for most often when First Aid or acute health issues arise…

Oh, the famous “Mountain Tea”; every Greek villager seems to know the power of this herb! Also known in English as Ironwort or in Greek as τσάι του βουνού, this herb is high in antioxidants and is traditionally drunk as a tea to support…
