Oregano (Origanum vulgare)

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is an aromatic plant from the mint family. It grows wild in the Mediterranean region and is cultivated worldwide as a spice and medicinal herb. The compact bushes bear small, purplish-red flowers and aromatic, oval leaves. Oregano exudes an intense, slightly sharp scent and lends dishes a robust, slightly bitter flavor.

Health Benefits  

Oregano has been valued in natural medicine for centuries. Hildegard von Bingen already praised its healing powers. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is considered warming and antispasmodic. Homeopaths use it for colds, digestive problems, and respiratory infections. Oregano contains essential oils and antioxidants, which are attributed antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and immune-stimulating effects.

Potential Risks

Despite the potential healing effects, caution should be exercised when taking oregano extracts or teas. In high doses, they can cause side effects such as stomach problems, dizziness, or allergies. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid consumption. As with all natural remedies, a doctor should be consulted for persistent symptoms. Overall, however, oregano is considered a safe spice for cooking.
