Do you often catch colds or sneeze with every weather change? As we age, our immune system weakens—but oregano can help strengthen it. Its key compound, carvacrol, has antimicrobial effects that “help the body fend off viruses and bacteria.” Camille, 58, says her oregano chicken broth keeps her feeling strong year-round.
Oregano also supports digestion by stimulating bile production, which helps break down fats. A sprinkle on “roasted vegetables, salads, or grilled meats” makes food tastier and easier to digest without harsh herbal remedies.
Another hidden benefit is its ability to calm inflammation. Chronic inflammation contributes to joint pain, fatigue, and aging. Thanks to antioxidants like rosmarinic acid, oregano helps “neutralize free radicals” and promote comfort over time.
Incorporating oregano is simple: brew it as tea, mix it into olive oil for dressing, or sprinkle it over meals.
More than just a spice, oregano is “a natural companion for better health.” It supports immunity, digestion, and inflammation—all while adding rich flavor. Start tonight with a pinch of oregano and “let nature do a little good work for you.”
