This simple yet powerful herbal remedy harnesses the natural potency of Indian Borage—commonly known as Cuban Oregano or simply oregano. Revered in traditional medicine across South Asia and the Caribbean, this fuzzy-leaved plant is more than just a culinary herb. Just one leaf a day is believed to support respiratory health, soothe digestive discomfort, and boost immunity. This recipe transforms a single leaf into a gentle, aromatic elixir that can be sipped daily or used as a base for other wellness tonics. With its earthy flavor and subtle menthol undertones, the elixir is both refreshing and restorative. Whether you’re looking to prevent seasonal ailments or simply nurture your body with nature’s pharmacy, this preparation is a beautiful way to honor the healing power of plants.
