WILD OREGANO Origanum vulgare, the strongest and most potent form of this herb, has been used for centuries in the Mediterranean world for its ability to
slow down food spoilage. This is due to its anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic and anti-oxidant activity, which also accounts for the health benefits that some
people have found when taking this amazing herb.
Scientists have shown that two main active ingredients, thymol and carvacrol, possess both anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties and contemporary herbalists
use oregano for supporting respiratory and digestive health. Thymol, which is especially prominent in the oil extract of oregano, is also known to break up
mucus, which accounts for many of its benefits in respiratory congestion. Some reports suggest that oregano could be effective in relieving both chesty and dry
coughs.
Due to its good anti-microbial and soothing properties, Oregano is an ideal choice for digestive conditions such as candidiasis, abdominal cramping, flatulence, bloating and bacterial infections.
