Oregano is a pretty common herb, but a lot of people have no idea how many benefits it has other than flavoring Italian food.

Here are just 5 of the amazing health benefits of oregano (origanum vulgare):

- Fights cancer: Oregano is rich in strong antioxidants. It supports our body’s natural resistance to free radical damage and cancer
- Antimicrobial: Oregano has potent antibacterial, anti fungal AND antiviral properties
- Insect repellant: Studies have shown that oregano can be more effective than commercial products at repelling insects - without the gross chemicals
- Boosts gut health: Oregano aids the flow of bile into digestive organs and supports a healthy intestinal microbiome
- Anti-inflammatory: Compounds in oregano activate our body’s anti-inflammatory system. This makes it useful for pain relief - with some studies showing it to be as effective as morphine

A concentrated form of this herb, like oregano oil, may be needed for topical use and for stronger medicinal benefits. You can also use it in fresh, dried, diffused or encapsulated forms.

Be sure to dilute oregano essential oil if you’re gonna use that!!!

And please do your own research on the best way to take it for your specific needs 💚

I think I could actually eat avocado toast everyday for the rest of my life. It’s so easy to make and so yummy.

Plus avocados are a great source of healthy fats and nutrients, like oleic acid and folate, that make for a better brain and body. So I really just might.. 🤔

This super fresh version of avocado toast is one of my go to ways to prep it - inspired by those times when I couldn’t decide between eating a salad or avocado toast lol. Swipe for a quick recipe and try it out yourself!

What do you put on your avocado toast? 🥑
