Chewing a fresh leaf stimulates saliva and digestive enzyme production.
Helps reduce bloating, gas, and sluggish digestion.
✅ Especially helpful after heavy meals.
3. Fights Low-Grade Inflammation
Chronic inflammation underlies many modern diseases — from arthritis to heart issues.
Oregano’s antioxidants neutralize free radicals and calm inflammatory pathways.
One study found oregano extract reduced joint swelling in animal models.
💡 While one leaf won’t cure disease, daily micro-doses add up over time.
4. Aids Natural Detoxification
Antioxidants like rosmarinic acid support liver function — your body’s main detox organ.
✅ Not a “detox cleanse” — just gentle, ongoing support.
5. Soothes Mild Respiratory Discomfort
The essential oils in oregano act as natural decongestants.
Inhaling steam from oregano tea can help clear nasal passages.
Traditionally used for coughs, sinus pressure, and seasonal sniffles.
✅ Great during cold season — especially when combined with honey and lemon.
