Oh yeah, and you might make oregano tea to lift your mood, cure a cold,
promote mental function, and possibly to cure worms. (not positive
about that last one) These are among the uses I remember for oregano
listed in a French herbal book. I drink brewed oregano with honey -
it's pungent but delicious, although I prefer lavender and rosemary.
