Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare hirtum) is a herb that has been used in cooking and pharmaceuticals for thousands of years. It adds flavor and aroma and has many health benefits.

It was used in herbal medicine by the Ancient Greeks. Hippocrates used it as an antiseptic. Dioscurides recommended it to those with loss of appetite, while the oregano decoction was believed to cure abdominal convulsions and address poisoning. The ancients used oregano as a spice and as a medicine for the treatment of infections and diseases.

The medicinal properties of oregano are due to many compounds including thymol and carbacrol. It has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. It works against germs in the same way that antibiotics do. It is used as a decoction or infusion and combats bowel irritation, facilitates digestion and calms the nervous system. It is also a diuretic and menstrual cycle.
