Hello hivers! Have a nice day! I think all of you here knows how effective the oregano leaves for our coughs. I know there are many uses for oregano but mainly the reason why I bought for this is for my kid's cough. Actually she had already recovered from cough and at my hometown I was giving her lagundi leaves but we are moving to my husband's place there's no lagundi here but only oregano.
This is our neighbor's house. It's just very near like it would take only 5 minutes by walking. Their house is nearby to a highway or where buses went and go. They had a small house and I was very curious why their oregano are very healthy, bigger leaves and massive in number.
These are just in their yards for a long time. Maybe 2-3 years already. During the long months of drought, it all die just leaving the dried stems and roots but they never removed it in their yard because they believe it will grow back in the rainy season. And yes it finally came back to life and it's very massive. What I like about this is it has very large, green and healthy leaves. Compared to what I had planted at home. It barely gives leaves and it doesn't take many months it will eventually die. So I asked the owner it was a very old man. He said the secret for this healthy leaves is smoke. In the afternoon he always make a fire on the dried leaves or coconut husks so it can create smoke. The smoke can let the insects flew away and in that case no one is disturbing them while they grow. Second is when harvesting it, you should not harvest the very young leaves. Young leaves are very fragile while old leaves are hard. Young leaves when removed can alter the production process. And lastly which he said the most important is to water it everyday. Every morning before the sun rise and every afternoon when the sun sets.
So these are the leaves I had bought from him. He refuse to receive my money but I insisted because this was a great help. And also after hearing his story it was difficult also, it needs effort to grow this very abundant oregano leaves.
I don't only use it for my kids, sometimes I do drink this one. I will grill it then squeeze it to take out the water and put it on the spoon and I will drink it directly. That's supposed to be done to my kids too but it's very bitter. For them I will boil a water and once boiled I put it in the vacuum flask and also put some leaves there and after 10-30 minutes it is ready to used. I put a little amount to their drinking glass and also to their feeding bottle.
That's all for today everyone. I hope you like my blog and learn something new today. If there are other uses of oregano that you do. Please share it to me at the comment section. Thank you so much.
