Medicinal use of Origanum vulgare:
Origanum vulgare has been used as a culinary and medicinal herb for
thousands of years. It has a beneficial effect upon the digestive and
respiratory systems and is also used to promote menstruation. It should
not be used medicinally by pregnant women though it is perfectly safe in
small amounts for culinary purposes. The leaves and flowering stems are
strongly antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, cholagogue,
diaphoretic, emmenagogue, expectorant, stimulant, stomachic and mildly
tonic. The plant is taken internally in the treatment of colds,
influenza, mild feverish illnesses, indigestion, stomach upsets and
painful menstruation. It is strongly sedative and should not be taken in
large doses, though mild teas have a soothing effect and aid restful
sleep. It should not be prescribed for pregnant women. Externally,
oregano is used to treat bronchitis, asthma, arthritis and muscular
pain. The plant can be used fresh or dried - harvest the whole plant
(but not the roots) in late summer to dry and store for winter use.
Oregano is often used in the form of an essential oil that is distilled
from the flowering plant. A few drops of the essential oil, put on
cotton wool and placed in the hollow of an aching tooth, frequently
relieves the pain of toothache. This plant is one of the best natural
antiseptics because of its high thymol content. The essential oil is
used in aromatherapy to treat the same kinds of complaints that the herb
is used for.
