Oregano is best known as a flavorful culinary herb, but it has also been used for generations in traditional herbal preparations. Rich in naturally occurring plant compounds, oregano can be brewed into a fragrant herbal tea that’s easy to prepare and enjoyable throughout the year.

Although oregano has been studied for its antioxidant and other beneficial plant compounds, no single herb can prevent, treat, or cure conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, anxiety, insomnia, rheumatic disease, or digestive disorders. Herbal teas should be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle—not as a substitute for medical care.
