This can provide protection from heart disease, cancer, and may be helpful with decreasing painful inflammation with arthritis. Oregano- contains Quercetin and may help protect against breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers. It also provides antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties.

Store in perforated bags in the crisper for up to 4 days. Dried herbs- should be used within a year of purchase. Keep them in airtight containers away from light and heat.
