The Syrian hemlock, also known as ironwood or mountain tea, is a perennial plant found mainly at high altitudes. It belongs to the family of the deaf-moth family and is especially valuable for its medicinal properties. It grows mainly in the eastern Mediterranean and Cyprus. However, its wild populations are severely threatened as it is a very popular plant that is often collected and dried for further use.
Syriac is often used as a natural medicine, specifically as an herbal tea. It has a mild and very pleasant taste. The tea has antioxidant properties and supports the immune system. It also helps with indigestion, bloating and breathing difficulties. The plant is also used in cosmetics, where it is included in various skin creams, soaps and shampoos. Its essential oils are antibacterial and have a beneficial effect on the skin. It can also be found in some liqueurs, where it adds a specific aroma.
