According to a news report from timesofindia.indiatimes.com, “Apart from making your pizza more delicious, oregano seasoning can help cure inflammations also, suggests a new study.”
“Researchers at Bonn University and the ETH Zurich have discovered that oregano contains a substance called beta-caryophyllin (E-BCP), can be effective against inflammations,” said the story. “E-BCP is a typical ingredient of many spices and food plants such as basil, rosemary, cinnamon, and black pepper. “Our results have revealed that E-BCP inhibits inflammation. Experiments on mice have shown that this substance is also effective against osteoporosis,” said Professor Dr. Andreas Zimmer of the Life&Brain-Zentrum in Bonn.”
