Oregano is one of the oldest herbs we have at present. Its therapeutic values were first recognized by ancient Greeks. They discovered it as potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-parasitic oil, which can lower pain, inflammation and also effectively fight against various infections. With studies so far it has been found that Oil of Oregano is a highly potent purifier which is very beneficial for human health.
A recent U.S. Department of Agriculture study shows that oregano offers the most antioxidant activity of all herbs examined: 42 times more antioxidant activity than apples, 30 times more than potatoes and 12 times more than oranges. Oregano contains quercetin, which has strong antioxidant properties and may be especially protective against breast, ovarian and endometrial cancers.
