Oregano


My Mom also have this green leafy plant at home not for cooking reason but because this plant can use to treat cough, though it can be use as a food ingredient.
just take few leaves and put it over the fire and warm it, until we can make squeeze out the juice to get a tablespoon of it, and then swallow it just like cough syrup.
But some make a tea out of it.

Hubby and I believe that God put a cure for everything here on this earth... We just have to find them. It would be so nice to have a 'medicine cabinet' in the garden! The plants are not only healthful, but beautiful!
