Greek oregano, also known as Mediterranean oregano, is native to and cultivated throughout Greece, Turkey, Egypt and Italy.

This is the classic “pizza herb” most people are familiar with. It also pairs well with meats, rice, vegetable and cheese dishes and tomato-based soups and stews.

It may help rebalance gut flora (parasites, yeast, bacterial overgrowth). Often used at the first sign of illness or during short-term immune challenges.
