this gemander

grows along the roads just about everywere

grows prob to 2 feet high

don't pull it up by the roots.......just cut it and it'll come back next year.

don't cut it early in the morn either,,,,too much dew could hamper the drying process.

dry it in the shade..........direct sunlight will turn it brown and ruin it.








Despite serious safety concerns, people take germander for treating gallbladder conditions, fever, stomachaches, and mild diarrhea; as a digestive aid, germ-killer, and “rinse for gout;” and to help with weight loss.

Some people use germander as a mouthwash to freshen the breath and kill germs in the mouth.

In manufacturing, germander is used as a flavoring in alcoholic beverages.
