Traditionally, oregano has been used to treat respiratory, gastrointestinal, and menstrual problems. Modern herbalists recommend application of oregano oil on the skin for the treatment of infection.
According to early research, oregano may have antiparasitic, antifungal, antioxidant, antibacterial, and insect repellent properties. Oregano may also reduce the risk of heart disease and is occasionally used in dentistry. There is limited scientific evidence to support any of these suggested uses for oregano.
