100% organic, small batch, picked by hand by Gregory Pappas and dried for six months. Diktamos is a rare plant that grows only in Crete, high up on the mountain tops. 

Known for its healing properties, this little tiny plant is the stuff of legends going back for centuries. The herb was associated with love since the ancient times, it is said to be an aphrodisiac and traditionally given to newly weds to ignite their passion.

In Greek mythology Aphrodite is said to have used it to lure her many lovers, and Hippocrates prescribed it for numerous ailments.

Cretan dittany almost seems too good to be true, but its effects are real. It helps treat common illnesses like the common cold, digestive issues, skin problems, and more. It’s easy to see why ancient Greek physicians used this herb in their treatment playbook. If you can find some, you may be able to live a healthier lifestyle, too.
