Dictamnus and malotira the herbs of Crete that shield the immune system

Among these, dictamnus and malotira (Cretan mountain tea) stand out for their unique therapeutic properties, serving as the traditional "shields" for the island's inhabitants against illness.

Dictamnus, known since antiquity and also called "erontas" (love), was considered by Hippocrates to be a panacea for all kinds of ailments. Today, modern analyses confirm that its high carvacrol content gives it powerful antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. A dictamnus infusion is ideal for relieving cold and cough symptoms, as well as soothing stomach upsets.

On the other hand, malotira, which grows exclusively on the mountain ranges of the White Mountains and Mount Psiloritis, is the ultimate ally for the immune system. The flavonoids it contains help fortify the body, protecting against viruses and the flu. Furthermore, it helps reduce blood pressure and benefits the digestive system without overloading the body with caffeine.
