Culinary Use: Add fresh or dried oregano to your meals to enjoy its flavor and benefits daily.
Oregano Tea: Steep fresh oregano leaves in hot water for a soothing tea.
Oregano Oil: Use oregano essential oil diluted with a carrier oil for topical application or take it internally as supplements—always consult a healthcare provider first.

Precautions and Considerations
While oregano is generally safe, concentrated oregano oil can be potent and may cause irritation if used improperly. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and individuals on certain medications should consult a healthcare professional before using oregano supplements or oils.
