  • Used as: an anti-fungal, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, abortifactant, anti-asthma, anti-malaria, antioxidant and anti-cold/flu/headache medication (take your pick). While it has a higher rate of success on malaria and bacteria on the skin than normal water, it has significantly less success than any standard over-the-counter antibiotic or medicinal anti-malaria drug.<wiki/List_of_medicinal_plants#cite_note-165"> As with most woo, there is always a glint of truth that gets warped into $$$$$.<wiki/List_of_medicinal_plants#cite_note-166"> It is a good antioxidant, but not more so than raw oregano, which tastes better and makes wicked salads. And, despite its name, it tastes absolutely foul (as this user will attest).
  • Harmful effects: Side effects may include gastrointestinal issues and allergic reactions.<wiki/Help:References" title="Help:References">
