Oregano is not only strong on the taste, it is also strong against microbes. <\/p>\n

Besides being great on pasta, oregano\u2019s antibacterial properties can help you fight an infection or beat a cold. <\/p>\n

This herb\u2019s anti-yeast benefits apply to yeast in your body as well as those growing on your body surface. That is why some naturopaths recommend taking oregano internally as well as applying to your skin to treat conditions like athlete\u2019s foot. <\/p>\n

Others have also used this herb for easing muscle aches. <\/p>\n
