Teucrium polium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Felty Germander (Teucrium polium) is a sub-shrub and herb native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East. Its flowers are small and range from pink to white, and its leaves are used in cooking and for medicinal purposes, particularly for the treatment of stomach ailments. It has also shown some promise in the treatment of visceral pain. Although it is also often used to treat blood sugar disorders (such as diabetes), studies have failed to find any benefit of the use of T. polium for diabetics.
