Teucrium scorodonia
Also known as wood sage and garlic sage, this perennial herb is native to Western Europe and Tunisia. Growing into a scrubby bush of approx 1m high, it is topped with spikes of yellow flowers in summer, which are adored by bees. The leaves are used fresh or dried used to make a tea which can be used medicinally as a tonic and to fight colds, and specifically for its alterative, astringent, carminative, diaphoretic, diuretic, emmenagogue, tonic and vulnerary uses. They are also said to taste like hops and an infusion of the leaves and flowers can be used to flavour beer.
An easy care plant, suitable for most sites, even dry shade, as long as the soil is not too alkaline. Ideal for poor soils and hillsides and very drought tolerant once established.

Jo has a passion for growing herbs but is not a qualified herbalist and has no medical background.
We are lucky to have Patricia Beagle working here at times, who is qualified, and some of her advice does appear on these pages, but herbs act differently for different people and can interact with other medicines. We therefore always recommend that you consult with your own qualified health-care practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing or on any medications.
