Greek Mountain Tea grows wild in rock crevices of hard limestones and in rocky places. It thrives best at an altitude of more than 1000 m up to alpine zone and is cultivated by man. The herb contains on the average 0.1% essential oil including more than sixty constituents which have recently been isolated. Sideritus scardia Griseb (Latin) is widely distributed in Greece. It contains saponine, flavonoids and it has a high iron content. Also it contains various other elements. The presence of saponine which affects favorably the upper respiratory track explains partially the popularity which the tea enjoys among Greeks as it is used as a drink especially during cold weather.
