Oregano Essential Oil

Origanum Vulgare

Oregano Essential Oil is a very versatile oil and can be effective in treating almost every system of your body however it is very powerful and must be used with caution.

Oregano is called "Natures Antibiotic" and has often been compared with penicillin as both posses' equivalent strength against harmful bacteria.

The difference is that penicillin can be standardized, synthesized and patented while oregano, being a natural substance, is largely ignored by the pharmaceutical industry of the West.

What is Oregano Essential Oil?

Let's start with some basic information; a brief description of where the oil comes from, what it contains and how it is obtained. The following information is provided by Bill Fifield in his book "Integrated Guide to Essential Oils & Aromatherapy".

This is a book that I highly recommend by the way.

Why Use Oregano Essential Oil?

Oregano can be used to address health issues in virtually every system of your body but it is very potent and should be used with caution.

Oregano is antimicrobial, antibacterial, antiviral as well as fungicidal so it makes a fantastic addition to your medical tool kit. 

In most cases you will want to dilute oregano oil but for some skin conditions (acne, boils, infections, etc.), you can apply it undiluted to tiny areas of concern ... but always have a carrier oil available in case it gets too hot.

To give you an idea of just how versatile oregano essential oil is, here is a list of some of the areas where it can help medicinally:

Outside of the medicinal arena, it has been used as fragrance in colognes, perfumes and soaps and of course you will be familiar with it's usage as flavoring in such things as meats and pizza.

Methods of Application

• Aromatically - Can be inhaled or diffused into the air
• Topical - Can be applied to the skin (may require dilution with a carrier oil)
• Internal - Can be taken internally in foods or beverages
• Dilute - Requires dilution with a carrier oil such as fractionated coconut oil

Suggested Uses

For a strong, safe antimicrobial action for all areas of your body massage a 50:50 blend of Oregano and carrier oil on the bottoms of your feet.

Use a hair dryer to assist with absorption.

In place of taking antibiotics - Put 2 drops on a spoon and add the same amount of coconut oil or olive oil. Put the mixture under your tongue and keep it there for a couple of minutes then rinse with water.

Do this 3 - 6 times a day but not for more than 7 - 10 days at a time unless the problem is severe in which case you should probably be seeing a doctor instead of taking my advice.

I did this for an infection and was very pleased with how quickly I recovered. I took 2 drops every 4 hours and noticed a steady improvement after each treatment.

If you prefer you can take the above in a gelatin cap available from Amazon.

Allergies

Oregano Essential Oil is very potent against allergies, asthma, coughing and sneezing.

• Take 2 drops with 2-3 drops of a carrier oil under the tongue and allow it to remain for a couple minutes before swallowing.
• Alternatively, the above mixture can be added to a gel cap and swallowed with water or at meal time.

Because of its powerful anti-fungal properties, which are deadly to many fungal infections, Oregano Essential Oil is known to be the most effective of all essential oils tested against candida.

As a bonus, oregano essential oil can be used to treat athlete’s foot, nail infections, as well as skin infections.

Oregano is also known as a "hot" oil so precautions need to be taken when applying it topically. Mix with a thick carrier oil such as Shea butter or olive oil.

Cold and Flu

Start (as soon as you feel symptoms) by licking a drop of tea tree oil (malaleuca) and swishing it around your mouth allowing it to gradually slide down your throat. (do this several times for the first hour)

Oregano works especially well as a toenail fungus remedy when paired with Tea Tree Essential Oil (discussed below).
