Lovage, an herb with a distinctive flavor of bitter celery and anise, has long been valued for its culinary and medicinal uses. The Greeks and Romans recognized its digestive and diuretic benefits, it was used in both food and alcoholic drinks, featuring in Roman recipes and medieval herbal texts. While its medicinal properties have a mix of folklore and modern scientific backing, lovage's diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant qualities continue to be appreciated today.
