Verbena

Lemon verbena or verbena lemongrass, native to South America, has the same properties as the officinal verbena.

The Celts also sacralized this plant pure as mistletoe, presented as the power to cure all ills.

It is often used to make all types of scented culinary preparations, in liqueurs or simply in soft, pleasant and digestive infusion.
