Oregano: Characteristics

The oregano (Origanum vulgare) is a perennial herbaceous shrub with oval leaves. The flowers are predominantly pink and contain various aromatic substances (terpinene, thymol, carvacrol), which develop a distinct and unmistakable strong and penetrating flavor.

It contains phenols, vitamins, and minerals, including iron, potassium, calcium, and manganese, making it a very effective natural remedy and supplement for various applications. It has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antispasmodic properties that make it particularly effective for respiratory diseases affecting the bronchi, lungs, and throat.
It is a natural analgesic, particularly effective especially in cases of painful menstruation. It exerts a mild disinfectant action when applied externally.
It contains high levels of vitamin C, a substance that helps the body develop greater resistance to infections, inflammatory agents, and free radicals, which are one of the main causes of premature aging of our body's cells.
