Why Oregano?
Oregano contains natural compounds such as carvacrol, thymol, and antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. While these compounds contribute to general wellness, they should not be considered a treatment for vision problems or eye conditions.
Tip: If you notice persistent blurred vision, eye pain, sudden vision changes, or other eye concerns, consult an eye care professional for proper evaluation.
