Organic Oregano Leaf (2 oz)
Oregano is one of Nature’s Most Powerful Antibiotics! It’s rich in antioxidants, including phenols, flavonoids, and rosmarinic acid which help boost the immune system. These compounds also help protect the body against oxidative stress caused by free radicals and contribute to overall health and well-being.
Oregano contains compounds like carvacrol and thymol that have anti-inflammatory properties. These compounds reduce inflammation in the body, which in turn help lesson symptoms of conditions like arthritis.
Oregano has been traditionally used to support digestive health. It aids in digestion, stimulates the production of digestive enzymes, and alleviate symptoms such as bloating and indigestion.
Oregano has natural antimicrobial properties. It contains compounds that can help fight against certain bacteria, fungi, and parasites. It’s even effective against certain types of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
How to make a tincture
In order to make a tincture you need at least 80 proof alcohol, a jar with a lid, oregano leaf and cheesecloth. You're going to fill the jar 3/4 of the way with dried Oregano and then top off with alcohol, make sure you leave one inch headspace for shaking. Put the lid on and store in a cool dark place for 6 weeks, shaking it every day or so. After 6 weeks, strain through cheesecloth and use as needed. Alcohol is a perservative, so tinctures have a 5 year shelf life.
