Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q: Can oregano really help with eye health?
A: While oregano is rich in antioxidants that combat free radicals, it's not a cure for eye conditions. It may support overall eye wellness as part of a balanced diet.

A: For most people, oregano is safe in culinary amounts. However, large doses or concentrated oil may cause stomach upset or allergic reactions.
Q: Can children or elderly people drink oregano tea?
