Well this is another mediterranean herb that has alot of antioxidants,oregano is very good for digestive function,and even more antioxidants than like blueberries, apples which is in it self is very powerful.Plus we are looking at more antioxidants than even spinach.Fermented oregano is very powerful more than fresh form if you can fine it.I remember my mom using oregano oil for sore throats,ear infections to,i use this herb alot on my pizza,but is used in the mediterranean diet,you can make oregano tea which is very good for many issues and can be bought in many stores.
