Dry Oregano Leaves

Dry oregano leaves DESCRIPTION:

Oregano is the dried leaves of either the Mediterranean herb Origanum sp or the Mexican plant Lippia sp. Both kinds have been picked from the wild for a long time. The name "Origanum" comes from Greek words that mean "joy of the mountain" because oregano grows best in high-altitude Mediterranean settings. The type from the Mediterranean is closely linked to oregano and looks a lot like it. The Mexican version comes from a different family of plants, but it has a taste that is similar to that of Mediterranean oregano, but stronger. Oregano is called ni zh (Chinese), origaino (Hindi), orégano (Spanish), origan (French), tawabul (Arabic), and oregano (German) in different languages.

dry oregano leaves benefits:

Oregano is a vegetable that is used in many dishes all over the world. Studies have found that it might help fight germs and reduce inflammation, among other great things.

◉ Rich in Antioxidants:- Oregano has a lot of antioxidants, which are chemicals that help protect the body from damage caused by dangerous free radicals. People with long-term diseases like cancer and heart disease may have more free radicals in their bodies.

Several studies done in test tubes have shown that oregano and oregano oil have a lot of antioxidants. Carvacrol and thymol, two antioxidants that can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, are found in high amounts in oregano essential oil.

When combined with other foods that are high in antioxidants, like fruits and veggies, oregano could give you a big dose of antioxidants that may help your health.

◉ May Help Fight Bacteria:- Some of the chemicals in oregano are very good at killing germs. One test-tube study showed that oregano essential oil helped stop the growth of two types of bacteria that can cause infections: Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. In another test tube study, 23 different types of germs were killed by oregano.

Also, the antibacterial effects of oregano, sage, and thyme oils were studied in a test tube study. Oregano was second only to thyme in how well it killed bacteria with its essential oil. Only test-tube studies with high amounts of this herb have been done so far. So, more study needs to be done to find out how these results might affect people.

◉ Could Have Anti-Cancer Properties:- There are a lot of vitamins in oregano. These substances can not only stop the damage done by free radicals, but they may also help stop cancer.

Some studies done in test tubes have shown that oregano and some of its parts may be able to kill cancer cells.In a test tube, oregano oil was used to treat human colon cancer cells, and the researchers found that it stopped the cancer cells from growing and helped kill them.

In another test tube study, carvacrol, one of the parts of oregano, helped stop colon cancer cells from growing and spreading. But keep in mind that these studies were done in test tubes and used a lot of the weed and its chemicals. To find out what it does, it needs to be tested on people in normal doses.

◉ May Help Reduce Viral Infection:- Some test-tube studies have shown that oregano and its parts may protect against some viruses as well as germs. Specifically, the chemicals carvacrol and thymol in oregano have been linked to antiviral effects.

In one test-tube study, norovirus, a virus that causes diarrhea, sickness, and stomach pain, was turned off by carvacrol in just one hour. Another test-tube study found that thymol and carvacrol stopped 90% of the herpes simplex virus from spreading in just one hour. Even though these results are hopeful, more study is needed to find out how oregano might affect virus diseases in people.
