Oregano is a member of the mint family and has been considered a precious plant for over 2500 years! It is a powerful antibacterial & anti-fungal agent. In addition it has amazing anti-inflammatory antioxidant, anti-parasitic & anti-viral properties.
Oregano is packed full of medicinal & health benefits. It has Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin K, copper, magnesium, iron, niacin, thiamine and calcium. It also contains more antioxidants than blueberries!
The two key compounds (or phytonutrients) in oregano that give it its healing properties are thymol & carvacrol that work to reduce the damaging effects of free radicals.
Neem is a traditional medicine used for over 5000 years, so powerful it is nicknamed “the village pharmacy”. Neem has been used for arthritis, eczema, acne, psoriasis, rashes, bug bites, athletes foot, jock itch, dry skin, wrinkles & many more. The essential fatty acids found in neem also help moisturize & hydrate the skin.Neem is anti-viral anti-parasitic anti-inflammatory antifungal antibacterial antioxidant & anti-diabetic. The antioxidative properties in neem oil, including flavonoids and carotenoids, reduce oxidative stress that results in aging. Making it truly one of the most ancient & powerful plants for healing!
