Oregano

Origanum vulgare

Oregano

Oregano is strongly antiseptic and useful for infections of the respiratory and digestive tracts; and has potent activity against many bacteria and fungi, notably E. coli and Candida strains. It is a good remedy for fungal infections, coughs, dysentery, tonsillitis, bronchitis, asthma and chest congestion. Both herb and oil inhibit the gut flora (bacteria naturally occurring within the gut) and have an important role to play in gut dysbiosis, a condition where the presence of harmful gut bacteria, leads to symptoms such as gas, bloating and abdominal discomfort. The oil of oregano can be added to bath water or a steamer to clear the lungs. The diluted oil can be applied to toothache and painful joints
