ABOUT HERBS
From Centaur Chiron of Greek mythology to the father of medicine, Hippocrates, and then to Dioskourides, who set the foundations of botanology, aromatic herbs and spices are found in abundance all-around Greece. The variety of herbs and spices in the Greek countryside gave the Ancient Greeks the ingredients to flavor their food, as well as the possibility to cure people. This reflected in the famous quote of Hippocrates, “Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food.”
Mediterranean climate, the fertile soil of Greece, and the presence of mountains and sea nourish a wide variety of herbs with unique aromatic qualities, excellent quality, and high nutritional properties. Greece is one of the wealthiest countries in the world with an exceptional botanical diversity: 7,500 different species of plants, 850 of which are endemic and cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Either as food or as a natural remedy, they have been used since ancient times, mainly as pain-killers. Nowadays, 75% of chemical medicines are based on the miraculous properties of herbs.
