Nutritious and Delicious Dried Oregano for Health macrophotography

I am getting ready to make some oregano oil, and this is the first of only a couple of easy steps. Oregano is a powerhouse of nutrition and I have some of the good organic version I got from Amazon.

The main benefits I care about from oregano are the anti-bacterial, immune system boosting, and anti-inflammatory properties. Living with roommates means that someone is always sick, so I try everything can not to catch what goes around here.

My mom @fitinfun has Rheumatoid Arthritic and I seem to be developing some of the early symptoms of this disease too. I have learned from my mom’s experience, that inflammation is to be avoided in the fight against auto-immune disease and oregano helps me with that.

I have had a one pound bag of oregano for at least a couple of years now. One pound of oregano is a huge amount and the bag it comes in is big enough to be a bed pillow. I use a cup or less at a time, so it seems to last forever.

I’m going to mix this herb with hemp oil, which I have told you about on an earlier post. The two of them will sit in the fridge mixing flavors until I eat it all and make more. The oil soaks into the herb and it softens up over time. The longer you leave it, the better it becomes. But I have a shared fridge, so I make small quantities and it goes fast.

Oregano oil is a wonderful addition to just about any savory food. In a larger quantity I get an Italian flavor for pasta dishes, in a lesser amount, it just adds a little kick to scrambled eggs or on top of a salad. Remember that as I told you in my hemp oil post, you cannot cook hemp oil. It needs to be added at the end of your cooking time and just mixed in.

You might think that just little bit of oregano will not make any difference to your health. But it does make a huge difference in the scheme of things. If I eat the good stuff and do not eat the bad, my body lets me know I am doing the right thing.
