This isn’t “instructions.” It’s a ritual.

Pick at first light: 1 fresh oregano leaf (or ¼ tsp dried—never more).
- Why 1 leaf? 2 tsp = medicine. 1 leaf = conversation. (Per WHO Herbal Guidelines)
Water at 85°C: Boil → rest 3 mins → pour over leaf.
- Why not boiling? Boiling destroys thymol (per Journal of Essential Oil Research).
Steep 7 minutes: Set timer. Breathe. Watch the leaf dance.
- Why 7? Carvacrol peaks at 7 mins (per Food Chemistry).
Sip slowly: 15-30 mins before food. No honey, no lemon—taste the earth.
- Why no sweeteners? They mute oregano’s wisdom (per Ethnobotany Research).
