Fresh Oregano Leaves
Vegetable Oil
Place fresh oregano leaves in the jar "enough to fill the jar but not packed" then add in the vegetable oil. Then shut the lid and leave in a sunny place for 12 to 20 days. The longer it goes the more potent it will be. This reciepe can be used for cooking and medical. Go less on the days for cooking and longer for the medical.
Hippocrates used oregano as an antiseptic, as well as a cure for stomach and respiratory ailments. A Cretan oregano (O. dictamnus) is still used today in Greece as a medicine for sore throat.
Oregano is high in antioxidant activity, due to a high content of phenolic acids and flavonoids. It also has shown antimicrobial activity against strains of the food-borne pathogen.
