The tea is delightfully pure and natural and is locally hand harvested here on the Greek Island of Crete without any artificial ingredients, colourings or flavourings. It is 100% organic and natural and is reputed by many Greek generations to be generally good for health and well-being. I drink it daily and love it!
The rare and sacred Dittany of Crete is named "eronda" by the locals, which means love for its aphrodisiac properties. It was very popular in Minoan Crete and Ancient Greece; it was considered a highly therapeutic plant. Wild goats were reputed to seek out the plant after being struck by arrows; the goats were thought to eat the plant, and the arrows would fall out immediately. Shepherds saw this and would then ingest and later make compresses of the leaves to heal open wounds.
According to Virgil’s version of the Trojan War, Aeneas was severely wounded by an arrow so deeply embedded that it could not be removed. His mother, the Roman Goddess Venus, took some Dittany of Crete from Mount Ida on the Island of Crete, applied it to Aeneas’ wound, causing the arrow to drop out and healing the wound immediately.
Its magical properties include an increase in psychic abilities and drawing of love and youthfulness. I use Dittany in my Spells and in particular Love Spells, Weight Loss Spells and Youthfulness Spells For lots more information about Dittany of Crete and how you buy the dried herb or aromatherapy oil then visit my sister site of Dittany-of-Crete It is my newest website that hopes to inform and entertain you on everything concerned with the magical plant!
