Nothing flavors soups like this homemade seasoning. No chemicals and the main ingredient is medicinal lovage, whose power our grandmothers already knew.
10 effects of lovage on your body and health:
- Supports digestion — if you’re losing weight, it’s the best helper,
- Speeds up metabolism,
- Promotes bile secretion – an excellent prevention of gallbladder disease,
- Eliminates flatulence and bloating,
- Prevents cardiovascular diseases, cleans the blood and blood vessels,
- Diuretic effects – it is excellent for people who suffer from frequent inflammations of the bladder, kidneys and urinary system,
- Removes excess water from the body; if you salt a lot, lovage will cleanse your body of excess sodium,
- Cleanses the respiratory tract – removes mucus and makes breathing easier,
- A decoction of lovage can successfully treat joint diseases such as rheumatism, arthrosis or gout.
- You can boil all parts of the plant, but the root has the most pronounced effect. Tea made from lovage root several times a day can effectively alleviate many health problems.
- Excellent during the flu – lovage is not only a great prevention, but it will also help you recover faster.
We need:
Lovage including stems (use as much lovage as the amount of seasoning you want to make; for me, the more, the better)
- 400 ml of water
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of fresh marjoram (if not, dried is fine)
- 2 tablespoons of sunflower oil (or as needed)
Instructions:
Thoroughly rinse the lovage and grind it in a meat grinder.
- Put it into a pot, add water and boil for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture through a white cloth, and squeeze it well
- Add salt, 2 tablespoons of oil and marjoram to the liquid mixture and cook until the infusion is reduced by half.
- Pour into a jar and turn it upside down.
- The concentrate can be added to soups and, to taste, to sauces.
