ORIGANUM VULGARE
FAMILY: LAMIACEAE
COMMON OREGANO: This is probably what you used before you read about the others.
Medicinally, it is expectorant, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, tonic, stomachic and anti-inflammatory (and you thought oregano was simply a seasoning). It aids digestion and is supposed to ease nervous headaches. It tastes pretty good in spaghetti.
Unfortunately, I’m not selling the real common oregano. Every plant I’ve purchased that was labeled Oregano vulgare has been some other species. Either this classification thing has gotten out of control, or common oregano has become extinct.
