Savory (Satureja) belongs to the lip flower family (Lamiaceae or Labiatae). The scientific name of savory is derived from 'satyr'. During Roman times, savory was mainly used by the followers of Bacchus. They wore it in wreaths in their hair and used it regularly to increase their potency. Although many herbal books do not mention this, savory is one of the oldest remedies for increasing potency.
In ancient times, the Romans were fond of savory sauce, which was made with vinegar and served with fish and meat dishes in the same way as mint sauce. Most cooks had their own recipes for using savory. They used it in stuffings for veal, in sauces for fish and other dishes, and even in sausages and pork pies.

Star anise is a tree or shrub whose fruits serve as a spice. Originally from southern China and Vietnam, it is now also grown in Cambodia, Laos, Japan and the Philippines. Best known for its eight-armed fruits, this tree has been known as a spice in Europe since the 17th century, but is best known for its Asian flavor profile. Star anise thrives in warm tropical areas.
The fruits are often used whole or ground into an easily dosed powder. The spicy taste is not in the seeds, but in the lignified peel of the fruit. Star anise has an intense scent of anise due to the large amount of anethole in the essential oil. The taste of the fruit is richer and firmer than that of the anise plant.
