Safety, Cautions & Contraindications

Safety note^[13]Info

Traditional-use indication only: if diarrhoea persists longer than 3-4 days, or symptoms of mouth/throat inflammation persist beyond about a week, a doctor should be consulted.

Safety note^[13]Caution

Use during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended, as safety has not been established.

Safety note^{[13, 15]}Info

Tannin-rich; very high or prolonged intake may cause gastrointestinal upset or constipation and can reduce the absorption of iron and some medicines taken at the same time.

Safety note^[12]Caution

Culinary amounts are safe. Concentrated oregano essential oil is a strong irritant - dilute well before any topical use and do not take undiluted oil internally.

Safety note^[11]Caution

May lower blood sugar and has a mild antiplatelet effect, so use caution with antidiabetic or anticoagulant medicines; avoid medicinal/oil doses in pregnancy. Allergy is possible in people sensitive to the mint family (Lamiaceae).

Botanical Description

Slender, downy perennial herb with a basal rosette of pinnately compound leaves and a single, unbranched, upright flowering stem. The leaflets are toothed, alternating large and small, and silvery-downy beneath. Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers are borne closely along a slender terminal spike (raceme), opening a few at a time from the base upwards, giving the old name 'church steeples'. After flowering, small bristly, hooked burrs form that cling to clothing and animal fur for dispersal.^{[13, 14]}

Height: 30-100 cm

Habit: Erect, downy perennial herb

Leaves: Pinnately compound, toothed leaflets of alternating large and small size, silvery-downy beneath

Flowers: Small, five-petalled, bright yellow flowers crowded on a slender terminal spike

Stem: Single, unbranched, upright, downy flowering stem

Root: Woody rootstock

Fruit: Small bristly, hooked burr that clings to clothing and fur

Flowering Period: June-September

Perennial herb/subshrub (Lamiaceae), 20-80 cm tall, with square, often reddish, downy stems. Leaves are opposite, ovate and aromatic. Small purplish-pink (occasionally white) flowers are borne in dense, flattened, corymb-like clusters at the branch tips.^[11]

Height: 20-80 cm

Habit: Bushy, aromatic perennial herb/subshrub

Leaves: Opposite, ovate, aromatic

Flowers: Small, purplish-pink (occasionally white), in dense corymb-like terminal clusters

Stem: Square, often reddish, downy

Root: Fibrous, spreading perennial rootstock

Fruit: Four small nutlets (typical Lamiaceae schizocarp)

Flowering Period: July-September

Habitat

Grows in dry grassland, hedgerows, field margins, roadsides and open woodland edges on well-drained, often calcareous soils; native and common throughout Europe, temperate Asia and North Africa.^{[13, 14]}

Native to the Mediterranean, Europe and temperate Asia and widely naturalised elsewhere, growing on dry, sunny grassland, banks and scrubby hillsides, typically on calcareous soils.^[11]

Harvesting

The flowering aerial parts are cut in summer, at the start of flowering, and dried promptly in a warm, airy, shaded place.^[13]

Parts: Aerial parts (flowering herb)

Season: Summer, at the start of flowering

Aerial parts are cut at or just before flowering (mid- to late summer), when essential-oil (carvacrol/thymol) content peaks, then dried quickly in the shade.^{[4, 9]}

Parts: Aerial parts (leaf, herb)

Season: Mid- to late summer, at or just before flowering

Traditional Uses

Agrimony has a long folk history as an astringent remedy for mild diarrhoea, as a gargle for sore throats and mild mouth/throat inflammation, and as a mild bitter digestive tonic; it has also been applied topically to minor wounds and skin inflammation. It is officially recognised in the European Union herbal monograph for traditional use in mild diarrhoea and mild inflammation of the mouth or throat.^{[13, 14]}

Oregano has a long Mediterranean culinary-medicinal tradition as an aromatic digestive bitter and antiseptic remedy for coughs, colds and infections. Modern research on its carvacrol- and thymol-rich essential oil strongly supports broad antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant activity, consistent with these traditional uses.^{[11, 12]}

Preparations

Infusion^[13]

Dried flowering herb infused in hot water, taken internally for mild diarrhoea and digestive complaints or used as a gargle/mouthwash for sore throat.

Poultice/compress^[13]

Crushed or infused herb applied externally to minor wounds and skin inflammation.

Infusion (tea)^[11]

Dried herb steeped in hot water as a digestive, aromatic tea.

Essential oil (diluted, topical/aromatic)^[12]

The most-studied form; concentrated oil is a strong irritant and must be well diluted before topical use and never taken undiluted internally.

Emulsified oil (oral, supervised)^[13]

A small clinical study used an emulsified oregano oil preparation to clear enteric parasites and improve gut symptoms; oral use of concentrated oil should be supervised.

Dosage

Infusion^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1.5-4 g of the comminuted herb in 250 mL (or less) of boiling water as an infusion, 2-3 times daily, in adolescents, adults and elderly. As a gargle for mild oral or throat inflammation, 1.5 g in 150 mL of boiling water 2-4 times daily, or a decoction of 3-4.5 g in 250 mL 2-3 times daily. Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Tincture^[13]

The EU herbal monograph gives 1-4 mL three times daily (orally, or as a gargle for oral and throat use). Educational reference only, not a prescription.

Culinary/infusion use^[12]

Culinary amounts (as a food seasoning or mild tea) are considered safe; concentrated essential oil should only be used well diluted and is not intended for undiluted internal use without professional guidance. Educational reference only, not a prescription.
