List of culinary herbs and aromatic plants
The list of culinary herbs and aromatic plants includes cultivated plants and wild species, of which components are used regionally or worldwide as spices in the kitchen and in the food industry (e.g. for desserts and liqueurs ) because of their aroma . These are presented in a simple botanical system , in particular the system of the bedecktsamer .
Often one can infer a similar appearance, a similar taste or similar active ingredients from belonging to the same plant family or genus . Among the more frequently represented plant families among the aromatic plants include mint (including basil , thyme , marjoram , rosemary , savory , sage , lavender , mint , lemon balm ), Umbelliferae ( anise , caraway , coriander , dill , parsley , lovage , parsley and celery and others) and leeks ( garlic , leek , chives and wild garlic ).
Some of these plants are medicinal plants , so they also have pharmacological effects. As an aphrodisiac are nutmeg and parsley .

Most of the aromatic plants are medicinal plants from the indication groups stomachica and carminative. They stimulate the appetite through reflex effects and through direct influence on the digestive organs, promote the digestive processes and prevent digestive disorders, e.g. B. Colic, before. ”From: Eberhard Teuscher: Medicinal plants.
