Let’s explore how this traditional leaf infusion works and how to prepare it safely at home. ๐️✨
๐ฑ Meet the Star: The Oregano Brujo Leaf
Known in some regions as “Cuban oregano,” “lion’s ear,” or Plectranthus amboinicus, this aromatic plant has thick, velvety leaves rich in essential oils, vitamins, and antioxidants.
It’s been used for centuries in Asian and Latin American herbal traditions to ease inflammation and support overall well-being.
๐ฟ Potential Benefits for Eye Health
✅ Rich in vitamin A and carotenoids, which help maintain healthy vision.
✅ Contains anti-inflammatory compounds that may help soothe tired or irritated eyes.
