Description
"""The name Oregano comes from the Greek, and translates to """"mountain of joy."""" Hippocrates had used it for curing numerous illnesses such as stomach pain and respiratory diseases. Paracelsus used oregano in the 15th century to treat diarrhea, psoriasis, vomiting, jaundice, and fungal diseases.
On a per gram basis, oregano and other herbs ranked even higher in antioxidant action than fruits and vegetables. Oregano has 42 times more antioxidant activity than apples, 30 times more than potatoes, 12 times more than oranges and 4 times more than blueberries.
The essential oil taken from oregano contains various amounts of thymol and carvacrol which are compounds that can inhibit the growth of fungi, worms, and possibly other organisms. Disease-fighting antioxidants have been found in oregano, though it is not evident if they appear in the oil as well as in the leaves. If you suffer from chronic colds or feel that you are """"immune suppressed"""", you may want to try Oil of Oregano for a couple of months and determine if this helps boost your immune system. *
