6. Gentle Detox and Immune Support
The stomach is the first line of defense against many pathogens that enter the body through food. Oregano not only supports digestion but also strengthens the immune response in the gut. Its natural compounds assist the stomach in neutralizing toxins and protecting against infections, creating a healthier environment for nutrient absorption.
How to Use Oregano for Stomach Health
- Culinary use: Add fresh or dried oregano to meals for flavor and gentle digestive support.
- Oregano tea: Steep a teaspoon of dried oregano leaves in hot water for 5–10 minutes to soothe bloating and indigestion.
- Oregano oil: Highly concentrated and should be diluted before use; consult a healthcare provider before taking it as a supplement.
