Its use is indicated for respiratory problems, gastritis, stomach ulcers, aids digestion and has an anti-fermentative action in the intestines. It has detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties and has always been considered a natural aphrodisiac. Thanks to its high antioxidant content, it improves body functions, memory and learning.
