Winter Savory also known as Mountain Savory is a perennial flowering plant native to warm temperature regions of southern Europe and has a sharp herbaceous aroma that is very stimulating. Winter Savory Essential Oil is antibacterial, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, antiviral and a great general tonic for the body.The aroma is very potent and I would encourage everybody to dilute this down very well in carrier oil before use.
