I'm Brazillian and lived in Rondônia, extreme west of the Amazon. Never heard about oregano tea being good for the intestines, will try it if I ever need again.

Now, don't put so much trust on the "knowledge of the natives". That knowledge is not maintained by centuries because native indians didn't develop writing, so recipes vary a lot even from one city to another; there are different fruits or plants which have the same name in different regions and the same fruit or plant may have different names in different regions. It is also not tested with a large genetic pool since these groups are very small, familiar with little genetic diversity.
