Have you ever used these three Italian herbs ?  Marjoram, Basil & Oregano

These herbs are great in essential oil form, too.  You can cook with them, apply on skin (use caution and direction by a Certified Aromatherapist), inhale them and take them as supplements.  They are very healing for the body.

Marjoram helps to lift the spirits.  It is spicy and intoxicating while adding flavor to  rich savory dishes like meats and sauces. Marjoram bolsters insulin activity, which stabilizes mood swings – causing blood sugar spikes.  The scent increases the body’s production of feel-good serotonin by 90%.  Marjoram is a great muscle relaxant relieving body and joint discomfort.  It is antibacterial, anti-fungal, vasodilator, helps to lower blood pressure, promotes intestinal peristalsis, expectorant, mucolytic and soothes the digestive tract.  It is used for arthritis/rheumatism, muscle/nerve pain, headaches, circulatory disorders, respiratory, infections, menstrual problems/ PMS, fungal infections, ringworm, shingles, sores, spasms, and fluid retention.

Basil was used by  Italian women to attract possible suitors.  Basil is a powerful antispasmodic, anti-viral, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, muscle relaxant and revs up the metabolism.  It can help to melt belly fat in two ways:  Its calcium stores suppress output of the fat storing hormone calcitriol, while its manganese keeps blood sugar levels stable to help wipe out cravings.  It is also used for migraines, throat/lung infections and insect bites.

Oregano is a wonderful herb with a great bite. It helps with anti-aging, anti-parasitic, powerful anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory and an immune stimulant.  The uses are: arthritis/rheumatism respiratory infectious diseases, infections/tuberculosis, digestive problems and pizza.  LOL

Apparently, the Italians know how to cook and also how to help heal their bodies.  So go out and use these herbs or in essential oil form (which I do both) and enjoy the healing of your bodies.

I think we might have spaghetti, tonight ?
