I have a bit more personal experience with Oregano. During one of our camping trips this summer, hubby got bit by a spider, the bite was becoming quite swollen and tender to the touch. I had read somewhere that oregano if made into a paste by mashing it and applied to the bite will reduce swelling and tenderness. I followed this procedure, allowing the paste to sit on the bite for over 4 hours just to be sure. That night when he took off the bandage, the swelling was indeed gone, and healed without further complications. Ive gone to use this method several other times and each time it worked.
