The Miracle Herb

At Pizzeria Oregano, it's obvious our favourite herb is oregano but did you know that oregano has fantastic medicinal properties too?

Oregano oil is extracted by steam extraction, from you guessed it, the oregano herb.

Oregano oil can help treat an absolute plethora of diseases. It has been proven to give relief to:

• cold sores
• muscle aches
• nail fungus
• joint pain
• dandruff 
• natural insect repellant - add a few drops to a glass of water and apply to skin 
• Noro virus
• ear infections 

So there you have it, not only is oregano the namesake of our restaurant, it also has crazy amazing health benefits. I've been taking it since November on a daily basis and I haven't gotten ill once (touch wood!)

An important side note: oregano oil tastes absolutely awful! It's far, far stronger than the herb we sprinkle on our pizzas and in our pasta sauces. Oregano oil is exceptionally pungent stuff and you may prefer to take liquid capsules. If you're feeling brave, take 4 drops every morning in a glass of water. Just make sure you hold your nose!
