Excellent for our skin

We have always heard that citrus fruits, orange, tangerines, grapefruit, lemon, have large proportions of antioxidants and basic nutrients for the care of our skin. However, and to the surprise of many, oregano has about 20 times more degree of concentration, in relation to other plants and even citrus fruits and blueberries in possessing these properties. Its components prevent cell aging, therefore that of the skin and benefits our body.

Siempre hemos escuchado que los cítricos, naranja, mandarinas, toronja, 
limón, poseen grandes proporciones de antioxidantes y nutrientes básicos 
para los cuidados de nuestra piel. Sin embargo y para sorpresa de muchos, 
el orégano tiene unas 20 veces más grado de concentración, en relación 
con otras plantas e incluso con los cítricos y arándanos en poseer dichas
 propiedades. Sus componentes evitan el envejecimiento celular, por ende 
el de la piel y beneficia a nuestro organismo.

Improve our health

When we are young it is rare to make a future projection, but as the years go by, our bones wear out and thus weaken and we could have fractures more easily, for this reason it is essential to have a good diet during youth. Oregano has calcium and iron, these minerals are essential to strengthen the bone system and protect us from osteoporosis and osteoarthritis.

Mejora nuestra salud

Cuando estamos jóvenes es raro hacer una proyección a futuro, pero a 
medida que los años pasan, nuestros huesos van desgastándose y así 
debilitando y podríamos tener fracturas más fácilmente, por esta razón es 
primordial tener una buena alimentación durante la edad juvenil. 
El orégano posee calcio y hierro, estos minerales son indispensables para 
fortalecer el sistema óseo y protegernos de osteoporosis y osteoartritis.

This little plant can reach up to 1 m in height; It has leaves in the form of suborbicular sheets. They are tender and fleshy, whose flavor and aroma are similar to that of oregano, it is very easy to care for so I invite everyone to have one. Here in my house we have many of them and I take care of them and use them in almost all the sauces and preparations.

Welcome to the Natural Medicine Community. I noticed you're a new Hiver. I have a little friendly advice that will help you on this journey.

#1 - Be sure to properly source images if they are not your own.
#2 - We love posts about herbs and plants, but if the post is simply facts that we could obtain from a google search, that is not very likely to be curated.
#3 - What we love most of all is something personal. Perhaps you could make a dish using oregano or a tea, and show us step-by-step how you make it. Something that shows your personality is always going to perform better.
#4 - Your HP is very low now, but self-voting is frowned upon, and when your HP is much higher, you could risk getting downvoted and/or muted from communities for repetitive self-voting.
#5 - Comment and vote on other content creators' posts.

Thanks for sharing this with us, Hivin' only gets easier with time.
