General -
Oregano
is a low bushy perennial up to 2ft high with hairy stem and dark green,
oval leaves and small grayish white flowers. Oregano essential oil comes
from Spain, and is steamed distilled from the herb. Many plants are
loosely classified as oregano. To add to the confusion, some reference
books call oregano ‘wild marjoram’, and many recipes suggest that the
two herbs, both members of the mint family, are interchangeable. In
fact, there are so many varieties of oregano that rather than thinking
of oregano as a specific plant, one ought to think of it as a particular
flavor.
Uses -
Oregano essential oil, Origanum vulgare, is a potent oil which is
antiseptic and kills parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Inhaled,
it is believed to be beneficial for respiratory conditions that are
bacterial or viral in nature. It also contains analgesic properties and
works as an expectorant. Please note that there is a popular "oregano
oil" on the market that is sold in a diluted version. Ours is pure,
undiluted oregano and is very potent. Oregano is a good effective
sedative. Tests have shown that it is one of the most effective oils to
relax brain waves. It is a calm relaxing oil that can ease muscle
spasms, stiff joints, coughing, indigestion and menstrual cramps. It has
been used as a traditional remedy for digestive upsets, respiratory
problems (asthma, bronchitis, coughs, etc.) colds, and flu as well as
for inflammations of the mouth and throat. In China it is also used to
treat fever, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice and itchy skin conditions. The
(diluted) oil has been used externally in herbal medicine for headaches,
rheumatism, general aches and pains, and applied to stings and bites.
Used as a fragrance component in soaps, colognes and perfumes,
especially men’s fragrances. Oregano is also employed to some extent as
a flavoring agent, mainly in meat products and pizzas.
