4. May Aid Digestion

Digestive discomfort — including bloating, gas, or slower digestion — becomes more common with age. Oregano has been used in traditional medicine to support digestive health.

The herb may help stimulate digestive enzymes and promote smoother digestion. It also has mild antimicrobial properties that may help maintain balance in the gut.

Sprinkling oregano over roasted vegetables, soups, or salads is an easy way to introduce its digestive-supporting qualities into daily meals.
