Oregano and olive tree leaves tea recipe for a healthy gut

Try oregano and olive tree leaves tea to boost your gut health!

Since I’ve started having some gut issues this last couple of months, I was looking for some natural remedies to help me with the bloating, gas, and all that discomfort. I’ve read about the amazing benefits of oregano oil and also olive leaves extract, so I thought of mixing these two together. And it was one of the best ideas I’ve ever had.

 

Why you should maintain a healthy gut:

A healthy gut is essential for overall health and well-being because it has over 100 million microorganisms, including good and bad bacteria, and fungi. Good bacteria help you break down food and nutrients so that they can be easily absorbed into the body. A healthy gut also helps to reduce inflammation in the body. If your gut is unhealthy, it can lead to a number of health problems, including inflammation, obesity, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.

Benefits of oregano for digestion:

  • Antibacterial effect:

Bad bacteria always find a way to your stomach no matter how clean your food is, these bacteria are supposed to get killed by stomach acid but sometimes when the acid is not strong enough, they get past it and make it to the intestine and then cause a lot of symptoms such as gas, bloating, diarrhea or constipation and also heartburn. Oregano its amazing antibacterial properties can help you with these bacteria through its polyphenols carvacrol and thymol

  • Antioxidant property:

Oregano oil has a much higher level of total antioxidant activity than vitamin E. Oregano oil (found in oregano leaves in flowers) is rich in antioxidant properties and high in phenolic content.

  • Oregano can be good for SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth):

The oil in oregano leaves is a well-documented botanical that directly kills or strongly inhibits the growth of intestinal microbes.

  • Good for leaky gut:

A leaky gut is when bad bacteria can leak through the intestine wall and enter the bloodstream which later can cause a lot of diseases. So, since the oil in oregano can kill bad bacteria, it can help you with the leaky gut problem by killing those bacteria before entering through the intestinal wall.

  1. Wow, I didn’t know olive leaves were so good for you! My house has a big olive tree, I’ll have to try this out. Does it matter what variety of olive tree you get the leaves from, or do they all have the same health benefits?

    1. Yes they’re amazing! I think all the varieties have Biophenols and Polyphenols, maybe with different concentrations but I believe that all olive leaves are good! Like for example I have no idea what variety is my olive tree and still, I used it and it really helped me. Does your tree make olives or is it fruitless?
