Herbs as medicine for IBS? Try oregano...The idea that herbs are nature's medicines really applies to Irritable Bowel Syndrome...The idea that herbs are nature's medicines really applies to IBS.Oregano, Origanum vulgare, contains two volatile oils, thymol and carvacol, that act as anti-spasmodics in the gut.They also increase the production of gastric juices, ease bloating and gas, and relieve menstrual cramps.Oregano has benefits similar to high volatile oil peppermint.Oregano also aids nausea and morning sickness, and has a calming effect as a muscle relaxant. The dried or fresh leaves of the herb make a warm, spicy tea that will probably remind you of pizza. Or use pure oregano oil by adding just 2-4 drops to a cup of hot water or herbal tea (the pure oil should never be used undiluted.)You can also easily grow fresh Greek oregano in your garden or a kitchen herb pot year round. It’s one of my perennial staple herbs, along with rosemary, peppermint, thyme, and sage.You are not alone.Heather's IBS Newsletter can’t continue without your support.
