Mexican Oregano for MCAS: is powder or dried leaf is best?

[MCASMike]

I read this article:

https://www.lutimax.com/news/2017/11/luteolin-rich-foods-to-add-to-your-diet/

And then looked at what's available online. I came upon not just the dried leaf but also the powder form. I'm wondering if the powder form is at least just as good for MCAS, and also if the relevant compounds in it dissipate quickly in the powdered form as opposed to the dried leaves. Anybody know? Thanks.

Just noticed that celery see is also quite high in luteolin, so that's another option, especially if you don't like the oregano type taste.

Powdered is probably just powdered leaf, but it may lose its potency faster. I would say it depends on how you intend to take it.

Interesting post and link, thank you.

You're welcome. And yes, I recieved the powdered form and it seems to be finely ground leaf. I should be getting the ground celery seed soon so I'll update here after i try it.

I found some celery seeds and used them in the tea mix I've been making (including green tea and Mexican oregano), and I couldn't really taste them, so this might be excellent for MCAS people who really dislike the taste of oregano.
