Just purchase a small oregano plant from a nursery/greenhouse that sells fresh herbs. Repot or plant it outside. It's super easy to grow.

Once you have good growth, make a tincture or make basic teas with it. Tinctures are potent, convenient, easy to regulate dosage, and are quickly absorbed into the bloodstream.

Making a simple (but very effective) tincture:

• Use fresh leaves and/or flowers
• Macerate (chop) the herb
• Use a ratio 1:2 (100A - grain alcohol)***
• Fill an entire pint or quart mason jar loosely with the herb
• Pour in the alcohol to fill the jar and close with the lid
• Shake
• Store away from heat and light for 6 weeks
• Give it a good shake daily.
• After 6 weeks, strain through several layers of cheesecloth, and squeeze as much liquid from the marc (spent herbs) as possible into a clean, closed mason jar
• Allow liquid to settle overnight
• Decant your tincture
• Label and store in glass dropper bottles away from heat and light

The following are BASIC GUIDELINES ONLY: Infants (10 wks-3 yrs) 2-5 drops diluted or through mama's milk (only GENTLE herbs for babies...such as catnip, chamomile, california poppy) Children (3-5 yrs) 5-15 drops diluted 3-5 x/day Adults 30-60 drops (1-2 dropperfuls) diluted 3-5 x/day

***100 proof (50% alcohol) is recommended for tincturing, but Everclear or Vodka are also fine to use.
