Oregano, Wild: Turkey (Origanum vulgare)

Oregano, in Greek it means “Joy of the Mountains”, and this perennial flowering herb is native to the Mediterranean. It grows about thirty inches tall and the entire plant can be steam-distilled to make the essential oil. Historically the spice and oil has been used therapeutically and Hippocrates regularly used it for treating respiratory problems, infections, fevers, and to assist the digestive tract. In the United States it was only after World War II that the spice became popular.

Because of the high Carvacrol content, extreme caution is required. Oregano can easily burn and blister the skin. It also contains small amounts of chemicals that are known to cause damage the liver when used in excess. Only use small amounts of Oregano over a few hour period of time. Also because of its powerful antibacterial affects, it is highly suggested that Oregano is only used for a short period of time, less than two weeks, and a probiotic supplement taken to reestablish your internal flora.
