Traditional & Historical Information:
Tarragon is probably best known for its contribution to French cuisine but it has also been long established as a curative herb. In France, where it is widely appreciated, women will include it in their diet to help regulate menstruation. It is a perennial herb and thrives near rivers. The essential oil of Tarragon is extracted by steam distillation of its silvery-green leaves and yellow flower tops. It was first called 'Estragon' and was introduced into Spain by the conquering Moors. Tarragon oil is reported to have anti-spasmodic, ciruculatory, digestive, stimulant, vermifuge and deodorant properties.
