Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 1

Savory (referring to herbs in the genus Satureja, such as summer savory and winter savory) has been used in traditional herbal medicine for various ailments, including respiratory issues like dry cough. Historical texts and folk medicine practices, particularly in Europe and the Mediterranean region, have recommended savory for its expectorant and soothing properties. These uses are typically based on empirical observations and traditional knowledge passed down through generations rather than on rigorous scientific studies.

However, scientific validation for the use of savory specifically in the treatment of dry cough is minimal. While some studies have investigated the general antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of Satureja species, there is a lack of direct clinical evidence supporting its efficacy for cough, particularly dry cough. As a result, its use for this condition is best described as traditional, with a low level of evidence (rated 1), primarily stemming from historical and ethnobotanical sources rather than modern controlled trials or pharmacological investigations.
