Using oregano in the form of an herbal cigarette can help you relax and reduce your anxiety and stress. It is also believed to make it easier for you to fall asleep. Smoking herbs instead of cigarettes is also a great way to help you quit smoking tobacco and nicotine altogether.
You can find oregano at any local herb shop. You can even grow it yourself if you live in a warm area. This herb grows best in well-draining soil and a warm, sunny location. It is also hardy, so it can withstand frosty weather. However, you should protect it with a few branches of fir or other conifers when the weather gets really cold.
According to a 2019 lab study, oregano oil contains carvacrol and thymol which have natural antibiotic properties and prevent various strains of Staphylococcus aureus from developing in meat and dairy products. Oregano has been shown to have anti-fungal properties as well. The study also found that oregano oil is effective in treating infections caused by resistant bacteria.
Another beneficial property of oregano is that it has anti-inflammatory properties and can alleviate pain from indigestion. In addition, it can prevent the accumulation of fatty deposits in the blood vessels. It is also a powerful antioxidant. It can be used as a remedy for respiratory disorders, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as it reduces the production of inflammatory mediators. In addition, it can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering LDL cholesterol and increasing HDL cholesterol.
