Medicinal Herbs: Oregano: The Secrets of the Kitchen Herbs
Oregano
Oregano is another well known cooking herb, especially in Italian dishes. The plant's leaves are small but mighty. And the wonderful thing is, this is a perennial so once you plant it, it will come back year after year.
Medicinal Qualities
Oregano is strongly antiseptic with a great effect on many bacteria and fungi, most notably E. Coli and Candida strains. This herb can be used to treat multiple acute and chronic infections that affect the Gastrointestinal Tract as well as the respiratory tract. Such as dysentery, bronchitis, coughs and tonsillitis.
Dysentery
Bronchitis
Coughs
Tonsillitis
Parts Used:
From this plant we use the flowers and the leaves to add to food, or to make an essential oil. We can also make tinctures out of this but it may just be better to keep eating it in our food. If taken as a medicine then limit this use to a couple of weeks.
Leaves
Flowering Tops
Essential Oil
Active Constituents
Since this herb contains volatile oil consisting of carvacrol, thymol, beta-bisabolene, caryophyllene, linalool, and borneol, tannins, resin sterols and flavonoids it can be made into an essential oil. The DILUTED oil can be used to help with toothaches and painful joints, gently apply to the affected area. DO NOT INGEST the essential oil.
Planting & Growing:
Depending on where you are buying your seeds from, the below information can be found on the seed packet or on the website. I use Baker Creek as much as I can. I have found their seed to work the best for me.
Start seeds indoors, Surface Sow and gently press seeds into soil. Light is required for germination. This herb prefers hot, dry and somewhat alkaline soil. If you want to dry the herb then harvest when flowers are beginning to bloom
8-12 hours of sunlight
Sprouts in 7-14 days
Ideal Temperature: 72-76 Degrees F
Seed Depth: Surface Sow
Plant Spacing: 10 inches
Frost Hardy: Yes
Warnings:
You can eat this herb perfectly safely when pregnant, but it is not advised to use it as a medicine during pregnancy.
When using this herb as a medicine limit use to only a few weeks. There is no clinical dosage available but many studies refer to using a limit of 200 mg a day.
