Abstract

This study aims to present basic data on long-term sexual effects of Savory (Satureja hortensis) by analyzing its zinc and V.B3 contents. These contents result in the activation of sexual functions induced by the blood concentration of sex hormones, thus improving menopauale symptoms. Results were obtained on August 20, 2020 after experimenting with 100 g of the herb from six indoor (green-house) experimental plots. The V.B3 results were analyzed using 100 g of Savory planted in open soil. Zinc had the highest values at 2.161 mg from the bed soil compounded with sapolite and poultry manure in the indoor condition and 2.077 mg from bed soil mixed with clay in the outdoor condition. The presence of V.B3 in Savory was also confirmed. Further research should be conducted on the interactions between Savory and other herbs.
