500 Lovage Seeds - Levisticum officinale

Lovage is a reputable medicinal plant which has been cultivated in monastery gardens in the Middle Ages in central Europe. It has been used to treat stomach complaints, gout, pains, depression and snake-bite, and this was later expanded further to include bronchitis and flatulence. Nowadays the plant’s bitter root is used to make the homeopathic remedy which is sold as Lecusticum. Lovage’s scientific name is a reference to its medicinal properties and comes from the Latin word levare, meaning ‘to alleviate’.
