The Greeks considered savory as a powerful aphrodisiac and Virgil praised its properties. In the 17 and 18th century in France, it was reputed for stimulating sexual appetite and was supposed to favour or normalise menses and to strenghten stomach. The word « savory » comes from the latin satura, « the stew herb ».
