Oregano Simply eating dried or fresh oregano (Origanum vulgare) is good for you, but it's nothing compared to the potency of the essential oils of oregano. It only takes a small amount to make a pretty big impact. It's most often used for immune support, respiratory support, and muscles and joints. I use Oregano internally for seasonal threats.
Oregano has been used for centuries for its cleansing and immune-boosting properties. Due to its high phenol content, caution should be taken when inhaling or diffusing Oregano; only one to two drops is needed. Oregano should be diluted Coconut Oil when applied to the skin. One drop taken daily can help maintain healthy immune function; Oregano should be taken more frequently when seasonal threats are high. In addition to being a popular cooking spice, Oregano supports healthy digestion by promoting the secretion of digestive juices.
