Guest guest Posted January 3, 2001 Report Share Posted January 3, 2001 I have read that only the true wild oregano will work. It said that most Oregano, especially in the US, is just a variety of Marjoram and not oregano at all.... Mexican oregano is a marjoram and some are related to the Thyme family. Only the true wild Oregano has the needed healing properties. I am in a hurry now but if more research is needed I can do so later...let me know, Jamie - " Gabrielle " <sorcy <herbal remedies > Tuesday, January 02, 2001 5:32 AM Re: [herbal remedies] Oregano > > So, I would like to know the variety of Oregano.
