More Information

Lovage is a lofty perennial aromatic plant belonging to the Apiaceae family. The herb bears dark green leaves and greenish yellow flowers. Lovage is an important herb all parts of which are highly perfumed. Its scent and flavor reminds one of its similarities with celery. Leaves of lovage are commonly used for adding flavor and zing, particularly in soups.

Lovage is also used in the Inipi (Native American ceremony) - the leaves can be placed on the rocks after they are brought in. It helps people with breathing problems in the Inipi and smells wonderful too.

On the other hand, the underground parts of the herb - rhizome and roots - contain therapeutic properties. The roots of lovage has been a distinguished folk medicine, especially for their diuretic (causing increased flow of urine) and carminative (relieving flatulence or colic by expelling gas) properties, for several hundred years, particularly since the 14th century. In addition to increasing the urine flow and ejecting gas, lovage was considered to be of substantial significance for treating kidney stones, jaundice, malaria, pleurisy, boils and aching throats. Even today, people in Europe use lovage roots for self-healing of ailments like stomach upsets, bladder and kidney problems, menstrual disorders, and gout, rheumatism as well as migraine headaches.
