Drink this tea with oregano to prevent your winter ailments
Drinking oregano tea has long been a tradition in many parts of the world as a home remedy for a number of different ailments.
Oregano contains many important compounds, including quercetin, eriocitrin, Luteolin-7-O-glucoside, Apigenin-7-O-glucoside, luteolin, apigenin and rosemaric acid.
Oregano consists of several phytonutrients such as thymol and rosemary acid, which have been shown to be extremely valuable antioxidants.
These antioxidants strongly inhibit the oxygen-based damage that cells cause in the human body.
Many studies have shown that oregano has a stronger anti-oxidizing effect than the two synthetic antioxidants that are regularly added to processed foods, namely BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene), BHA (butylated bydroxyanisol).
In a study published in the International Food Journal of Sciences and Nutrition in 2007, it was shown that drinking oregano tea provides antioxidant results and also lowers LDL (bad cholesterol).
