Chasteberry: Initial studies suggest that chasteberry might help relieve menstrual period symptoms. But the evidence isn't strong enough to conclude one way or another.

Clad in a Hawaiian shirt and tartan-framed sunglasses, Bergès says his cooking is informed by his surroundings. “I’ve always liked to make connections between products from the region, be it lavender with fish, or thyme or rosemary in a soufflé,” he says.There are several ways that the anís spirit can be produced. One way is to distil the ingredients in an anisette wine while another way sees the aniseed being mashed up before being distilled in another spirit. In Spain, they used to add aniseed oil to other spirits to make it, however this custom has begun to become rarer and rarer. Now it is much more common just to produce a pure alcohol from the seeds. Another ban came during World War II, but when that was lifted, Pernod launched its own—Pastis 51. The two brands became archrivals until 1975, when the companies merged and became Pernod Ricard.”

Strebler produces two different versions of pastis, the first is a standard blend but the other is more of a departure. “It’s more herbal and floral,” he says. “There’s still aniseed, fennel, and licorice, but I also use verbena and yerba maté, [a drink] similar to tea or coffee.” The result is delicious, a drink with an almost chocolatey smoothness with the verbena lending a gentle spearmint note. “This is one to savor, with just an ice cube. People who generally don’t like pastis, like this,” he explains. Arak is a traditional alcoholic beverage of the Levant and Eastern Mediterranean. [2] [6] It is distilled and consumed across a wide area in the Levant, [2] [7] including in Lebanon, [8] [9] [10] Syria, [11] Jordan, [12] Israel, [12] and the Palestinian territories. [10] It does not have a protected designation of origin. [3] Many people believe that the spirit is extremely good for your health. When it first began to be consumed, anís was often drunk to help the digestive system and to help balance the body. However, with a very high alcohol percentage this is definitely not the case and the spirit is notorious for giving people a strong hangover, especially if you drink a lot of it. Today, the aniseed spirit is one of the most preferred drinks for ending a meal.

In Syria, arak is common. Before the outbreak of the Syria Civil War in 2011, production was dominated by two state-run firms, Al-Rayan (based in the Druze city of Sweida) and Al-Mimas (based in a Christian settlement near Homs). Together, the two companies held about 85% of Syria's market share in arak. Since the civil war, however, the companies' profits and the price of arak, has declined, with their combined market share falling to under half. [11] Low-quality counterfeits also proliferated, using pure alcohol (rather than fermented grapes) and an aniseed substitute (rather than aniseed).
