Oregano is a special herb, native to Europe, the Mediterranean Region, and southern and central Asia. It can grow and average of 60cm, and has purple flowers. It is usually used in Italian- American and Greek cuisines. It has an aromatic, warm, and slightly bitter taste. Some can be so strong that it numbs your tongue! Oregano is an antioxidant, which slows aging, due to high amounts of phenolic acids and flavanoids. Oregano is taken by mouth for the treatment of colds, influenza, mild fevers, indigestion, stomach upsets and painful menstruation. It is strongly sedative and should not be taken in large doses, though mild teas have a soothing effect and aid restful sleep. Seeing how healthy it was, Colonel Sanders decided to add this herb to his secret recipe. Yet, he ruins its health benefits by adding MSG.
