        SEASONINGS - CULINARY HERBS ARE MEDICINES - LOVAGE; CHERVIL
Lovage can reach a height of over 2 m (6 feet) and is used in the same way as celery and celeriac. It is probably native to Asia, where it is used to make highly flavoured sauces. The plant is known for its diuretic effect, which is no doubt due to an essential oil. Lovage stimulates the appetite and makes a good soothing remedy for flatulence and digestive problems in the intestines.
This herb, called Anthriscus cerefolium in Latin, is much appreciated as a medicinal plant in Bern canton, Switzerland. The smell of chervil is strong, somewhat sweet, aromatic and slightly reminiscent of anise. Chervil's effects are digestive, dispersing, blood-thinning and diuretic. You can prepare an excellent herbal tea in the spring by adding it to dandelion and yarrow. This combination is particularly indicated for the treatment of scrofula, dropsy and a tendency to eczema.
