Oregano, also known as wild marjoram or common marjoram, is a plant with culinary and medicinal applications, and has health benefits that date back to ancient Greece. It is a widespread plant, found in Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It is important to be aware of its effects on the human body.
The common marjoram is available as fresh leaves and stems, dried herb, or oil. It has a spasmolytic effect, influencing the digestive, urinary, and uterine systems. The plant has bactericidal properties, and its use can help alleviate diarrhea and support digestive processes. Oregano also stimulates saliva and gastric juice secretion, and regulates kidney function. This leads to a mild increase in the amount of urine produced.
Oregano is often used to combat bloating, digestive system problems such as intestinal, stomach, and liver issues, upper respiratory tract and cough problems, oral and throat inflammations, and slow-healing wounds.
Marjoram contains tannins, flavonoids, and essential oils rich in phenols. These elements support the immune system, have anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties, and have led to the creation of oregano oil, which is often used during seasonal illnesses. Oregano can be used orally or externally, depending on the form of the herb.
Regarding dosage and side effects, dried marjoram is used for seasoning dishes, and there are no recommendations regarding its maximum consumption. The same is not true for marjoram tea, used for antispasmodic and carminative purposes. The therapeutic drink is prepared by steeping one tablespoon of herb in about 250 ml of water, brewing for fifteen minutes, and waiting for another ten minutes after brewing.
It is important to be aware of the influence of marjoram on the human body, particularly when considering its potential medicinal uses.
