Oregano Has An Oil

Used for centuries and found originality in the high mountains of Greece, oregano, whose name means joy to the mountains, has been used to treat wounds and added a zest to food.

Oregano is a great herb. It is amazing in Italian dishes and adds great flavor to salads. Oil of oregano is very interesting, In a recent study 20 clinical strains of bacteria were tested and oregano oil proved to be an effective mean for the prevention of antibiotic-resistant development. Because of the overuse of antibiotics, some strains of bacteria cannot be overcome, so the use of oregano is great news.

Oregano is very high in phenols. Phenols are compounds that have antioxidants that are beneficial because they prevent free radicals from causing harm to your body.

Oregano has powerful anti-viral properties, antibacterial properties, and anti-fungal properties. This means that using it can help to prevent and treat viral infections, because of the anti-bacterial properties it acts as a natural antibiotic killing bad bacteria including E Coli. It can help with the overgrowth of bacteria in the large colon protecting your body from toxicity. Candida overgrowth can wreak havoc on your system.

Because of its anti-fungal properties, it can be used to treat fungi. If you suffer from toenail fungus try 2–4 drops on the infected area 2 times a day for 10 days and you should see amazing results.

Studies have also shown that oil of oregano helps to fight inflammation, relieve allergy symptoms, boosts the immune system, helps strengthen the respiratory system and have been shown promise in anti-tumor properties. Oil of oregano can be ingested to prevent bacterial overgrowth as in bronchitis or pneumonia. You must have the very best grade possible. It is recommended to take 2–4 drops twice daily for 10 days. If you have an external infection use a carrier to dilute the drops and apply to the infected area.

I really wish I had known about this earlier this year as someone very dear to me contacted MRSA. It seems as if oregano oil is the oil of choice for acute MRSA and staph infections. Taking the oil in a vegetable capsule or adding 3 drops in a beverage or in food with a carrier oil for 10 days has proven effective against MRSA and staph.

This oil is not only tasty but really powerful. Because of the anti-viral and anti-parasitic properties, it can be used internally to fight parasites. That is pretty incredible. Place the oil in a vegetable capsule and take for up to 10 days.

Oregano oil can even help to remove warts. Warts are a small, hard growth on the skin that has been caused by a virus. There are several types of common warts; flat warts plantar warts and genital warts because they are caused by a virus they do not react to medication. Every wart’s root comes from HPV, (human papillomavirus) which is contagious and this makes your skin grow faster than normal. In the book, Essential Oils, Ancient Medicine, the authors suggest this home remedy for warts. Add 20 drops each of oregano oil, lemongrass oil and tea tree oil in a 2-ounce glass dropper. Add raw organic apple cider and fractionated coconut oil. Shake and use on warts, about 1–3 drops using a cotton swab nightly until warts disappear.

If you have mold growth in your home try making a cleaning solution with oregano oil, lavender and tea tree oil. Not only will this get rid of the mold, the lavender will have a calming smell. There are many more uses for oregano oil it is an awesome oil to add to your collection.

Essential oils have been around for centuries and the uses for them are pretty amazing. There are a number of ways that you can use them in your home. Steam inhalation, with a diffuser, directly inhale, in water and drink, in a capsule and swallow, even under your tongue when mixed with a carrier oil. Always use caution when choosing and using essential oils some are strong and need a carrier oil while others are mild. I always say eat the natural colors of the rainbow and I am becoming a huge fan of these natural oils that have so many amazing uses. Instead of putting unnatural man-made pharmaceuticals in or on my body I am going to continue to study the things that nature gave us to use. Healthier and safer.
