The science behind oregano
Oregano: Beyond the Kitchen
Oregano isn’t just a seasoning—it’s a medicinal herb.
“The natural compounds it contains, such as carvacrol, thymol, and rosmarinic acid, make oregano more than just a seasoning.”
These compounds provide antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
Antioxidant & Antibacterial Power
Oregano’s carvacrol and thymol fight free radicals.
“Research suggests it may provide stronger protection than some fruits and vegetables.”
Its antibacterial effects combat harmful microbes like E. coli and Pseudomonas.
Anti-Inflammatory Support
Carvacrol may naturally reduce swelling.
“Carvacrol, found in oregano, can reduce swelling in animals by up to 57%.”
It may help conditions linked to chronic inflammation and soothe the digestive tract.
Immune & Overall Health
Oregano compounds help fight viruses like herpes and support heart health by lowering bad cholesterol.
“By consuming oregano, you will not only benefit from its health properties but also its flavor.”
