Oregano alters salt preferences
Salt Preference is Linked to Hypertension and not to Aging.
Study emphasizes seasoning's role.
We aimed to understand how seasoning, specifically oregano, influences salt preference among individuals with different blood pressure levels. Our study included 118 outpatients categorized into groups based on their age and blood pressure status: older hypertensive, younger hypertensive, older normotensive, and younger normotensive.
Participants first sampled bread with varying salt levels, then tasted the same breads enhanced with oregano after two weeks. We measured their blood pressure and sodium excretion to provide a complete picture of their sodium intake and preferences.
The findings revealed that those with hypertension—both young and old—had a stronger preference for saltier bread compared to their normotensive peers. However, after incorporating oregano, all participants showed a reduced preference for saltier options. This highlights that while oregano might not directly lower blood pressure, it can modify taste preferences, leading people to choose lower-salt foods.
Ultimately, our study suggests that salt preference correlates more closely with hypertension status than with aging. We discovered that seasoning can aid in efforts to reduce salt intake, which is crucial for managing high blood pressure.

Essential oils' impact on hypertension
Effects of a novel formulation of essential oils on glucose-insulin metabolism in diabetic and hypertensive rats: a pilot study.
Limited specific conclusions on oregano
We investigated how combinations of essential oils, including oregano, might influence hypertension and insulin sensitivity. By administering these oils to diabetic and hypertensive rat models, we aimed to understand their potential benefits.
Throughout the study, we observed that the essential oils did have a positive effect on blood pressure levels and glucose concentrations. Specifically, we found that all tested formulas reduced systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Zucker fatty rats (ZFRs). However, it's important to note that while we recognized a decrease in blood pressure, the effects attributed specifically to oregano were not isolated due to the combination with other oils.
This means that while oregano appears to be part of a beneficial blend, we cannot draw definitive conclusions about its individual impact on hypertension. The research did highlight exciting potential for natural products in managing insulin sensitivity, yet further investigation is necessary to pinpoint the specific roles of each component, particularly oregano.

Oregano reduced salt preferences
Salt preferences of normotensive and hypertensive older individuals.
Oregano's role needs clarity.
We explored the relationship between salt preferences and hypertension among older individuals, specifically how oregano might influence these factors. The study assessed a group of hypertensive participants and a group of normotensive participants to see how they reacted to various salt concentrations in bread. Interestingly, after two weeks, both groups showed a decreased preference for salt when oregano was added to the bread.
Participants were measured for their blood pressure, sodium excretion, and body mass index, revealing that those with hypertension had higher values in all three categories compared to their normotensive counterparts. Initially, hypertensive individuals favored saltier options significantly. However, the introduction of oregano appeared to help reduce overall salt preference in both groups.
Although oregano was used in the study, it didn't demonstrate any substantial isolated effect specifically on hypertension. Instead, our findings highlighted that while older adults with high blood pressure generally prefer saltier foods, introducing herbs like oregano could assist in reducing their salt intake.

Effective for hypertension
I take it for hypertension, and as a diuretic, it’s a beneficial dietary supplement. I recommend it.
