Magical oregano: your kitchen’s secret ally

A little boost for a stronger immune system

Frequent colds, a cascade of sneezing as soon as the leaves fall… Sound familiar? As the years go by, our immune system can show some signs of weakness. Fortunately, oregano could well become your new health ally.

A pinch in a homemade soup or broth, and voilà, you give it  an extra protective boost  ! Camille, 58, has made her oregano chicken broth a staple—and she’s doing wonderfully.
