Description

Tarragon for Detoxification and Blood Sugar Regulation

Tarragon is closely associated with cooking, particularly in French cuisine. It contains flavonoids and tannins, which help detoxify the body, while also possessing mild calming properties. Tarragon, or *Artemisia dracunculus*, is a plant native to distant Siberia and Mongolia. It is said to be named after Artemis, the goddess of hunting. However, the French name “Estragon” means “little dragon.” In ancient Greece, it is known that the Greeks would chew on tarragon when they had a toothache, as it causes numbness.

Tarragon contains iodine, potassium, and vitamins A and C. It is recommended for nausea, hiccups, and insomnia and is a good digestive aid. This herb stimulates the digestive process and helps with bloating and indigestion. Additionally, it relieves toothaches and is also antipyretic.
