Oregano is a vigorous perennial herb that can grow to about two feet in height.
It is native to Europe and Asia but is cultivated worldwide. The leaves and dried herb are used medicinally. The name Oreganum is the contraction of two Greek words, oros meaning mountain and ganos meaning joy. Together the words suggest the beauty that oregano lends to the fields and hilltops on which it grows. 2 Oregano was used extensively by the Greeks for conditions ranging from convulsions to heart failure.
