Native to the Mediterranean, Oregano, derived from the Origanum vulgare plant, is more than just a simple kitchen herb. It contains carvacrol, a potent monoterpenoid phenol that serves more than just a fragrant punch.
Carvacrol has been studied for its potential cognitive enhancing properties due to its interaction with communication activities within cognitive functions, aiding in maintaining mental alertness and a focused mind. Additionally, it exhibits a soothing effect, providing a cooling sensation which aids in the regulation of body temperature, further enhancing its significance in maintaining a state of physical comfort.
