A wonderful healing herb is the tea of Olympus. It is a species of the plant Sideritis sp. (Athoa - Clandestina - Raeseri - Scardici - Euboea - Syriaca), widely known throughout Greece under the common name of Mountain Tea. Due to its high iron content, it is considered a powerful shield against colds and has anti-hypertensive, antioxidant, anti-thrombotic action. It is rich in flavonoids that shield the circulatory and cardiovascular system, and is the most popular Greek herb. It is found native in most mountainous and semi-mountainous parts of the Mediterranean.
