Fresh Oregano Tea & Water

Oregano should always demand respect. When oregano enters our intestinal tract, the toxic bugs and pathogens that reside inside the human body quickly learn to have respect for almighty oregano. It is an herb of many uses. Whether you choose fresh oregano tea or fresh oregano water, it will be a healing tool that’s always at your fingertips if you grow the herb at home. When you bring fresh oregano into your life, your body will thank you for its combination of anti-pathogenic compounds geared to killing bacteria, which can really help someone struggling with chronic illness.
