 LEMON VERBENA |
Lemon Verbena (Aloysia triphylla) is cultivated here on the Greek island of Crete. It is a small deciduous perennial shrub renowned for its citrus lemony fragrance and is native to South America.
It smells wonderful and when the leaves are crushed the Lemon Verbena gives off a gorgeous lemon citrus aroma.

It has reportedly many health benefits including acting as an antidepressant and digestive aid helping with metabolism.
It is also becoming renowned for its weight loss properties and for helping rid cellulite.
Because of its lovely lemon fragrance the oil from Lemon Verbena is often used in calming and de-stressing aromatherapy products.
Beauty products such as massage oils, soaps and bath oils are made with Lemon Verbena oil.
And any perfume containing this particular fragrance is said to be very attracting to the opposite sex!

Lemon Verbena is also used to give flavour to olive oil for dressings and to use in marinades.
