With its strong spicy flavor, winter savory goes well with beans and meats, and including lighter meats such as chicken or turkey, and can be used in stuffing. Strong uncooked, much of its flavor is tamed under prolonged cooking.

It may also be used medicinally as a stimulant, stomach calming herbal, topical insect bite treatment and last but certainly not least, aphrodisiac. Also antiseptic, aromatic, carminative, digestive, expectorant. Winter savory is most often used as a culinary herb, but it also has marked medicinal benefits, especially upon the whole digestive system.
