I spent most of my day making my normal breads and processing fruits so I won't bore you with the details.
Today's post is all about the health benefits of Oregano.
I have oregano all around the property. So far I have only used it for cooking but I have plans to make oregano oil.
I did dry some to add to my homemade Italian Seasoning
Oregano is used as a culinary herb and is used mainly for seasoning foods, especially in the Mediterranean. Most people don't realize that it is also very medicinal. It can be used as an herb in food, as a tea, a tinture or as an oil.
Oregano is an antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. It is used internal to treat infections and can be used externally for skin infections and to treat fungal infections. It contains a huge range if antioxudants, anti-inflammatory and antifungal properties which are beneficial to the immune system and helps the immune system heal the body much faster.
It also relieves stresses in the body and stimulates the immune system to create more white blood cells to defend the body against bacteria, viruses, fungus and cancer cells. It also cat be used to treat yeast infections.
It's antioxidants and antiinflammatories reduce the signs of aging, heal blemishes and reduce the appearance of scars. It neutralizes the free radicals in the skin that causes wrinkles and age spots and improves the skin elasticity.
Oregano tea has omego-3 fatty acids which improve the colesterol levels. It is extremely beneficial for the heart. It helps prevent stroke, heart attacks and anterosclerosis.
It stimulates the metabolism which helps burn calories. It can increase the energy levels and help with weight loss.
Adding oregono oil to water and breathing in the steam can loosen congestion and help treat bronchitis, coughing and even asthma.
You can extract the oil by steam extraction but it maks a stronger oil that must be diluted. I have an oil machine that I plan to use and infuse it with Organic Olive Oil. That was you can use it both internally and externally.
I'll let you know how it turns out when I finally get the time to make it.
Mahalo for stopping by.
