White elm

Origin and history


Oregano, an aromatic plant emblematic of the Mediterranean basin, has been used since ancient times for its medicinal and culinary properties. Its name comes from the Greek oros (mountain) and ganos (joy), literally meaning "joy of the mountains." The Greeks and Romans considered it a sacred plant, a symbol of happiness and health. In traditional medicine, it was already renowned for its digestive and antiseptic properties. Today, oregano is appreciated as much for its powerful fragrance as for its many natural benefits.
