 | | Chervil, a dainty annual that grows from 30 to 45 cm (12 to 18 inches) tall, is native to southern Russia, the Caucasus, and perhaps the Middle East. |
 | | Although chervil has never been widely employed as a medicinal herb, it was used in traditional herbal medicine as an expectorant and general stimulant, and to treat eczema, relieve stomach problems, and lower blood pressure. |
 | | Chervil is often used to intensify the flavor of other herbs, and is included in the classic French fines herbes, along with parsley, chives, and tarragon. |
