Oregano (origanum vulgare) is a member of the Labiatae family (commonly referred to as the mint family). Its name is from the Greek word oreganos, which loosely translated means “joy of the mountains.”

Topically, it helps treat cellulite, eczema, psoriasis and chronic skin problems.  It destroys staph, annihiliates athlete’s foot, and can relieve toothaches.  Oregano naturally eliminates lice and wipes out intestinal worms.  (ewww gross!)
