How is savory traditionally used?

Persian medicine classifies savory as hot and dry (گرم و خشک) to the third degree — strongly warming, dispersing, and digestive. Avicenna recommends it after heavy or cold-natured meals, and it is one of the herbs traditionally chewed by mountain shepherds for stamina and chest warmth.

How do people commonly use Savory?

Add 3–5 fresh sprigs to every Persian meal as part of sabzi-khordan Sprinkle dried marzeh over bean and lentil dishes to ease gas Tea after heavy meals: 1 tsp dried herb in 1 cup hot water, 8 min
