Curry leaves

Curry leaves are highly aromatic leaves of the curry tree, a tree in the citrus family. The leaves are mainly used as seasoning in Indian cooking, either fresh or dried.

The leaves can also be used as a fragrance in perfumes and are very popular in Ayurvedic medicine, among other things, to relieve aches, pains and itching. Decoction of curry leaves is said to be effective against diarrhea, dysentery and nausea.
