Description

What is Oil of Oregano

A number of scientific studies have backed up ancient beliefs in the healing powers of Oil of Oregano. First used by the Ancient Greeks, it has been proven to have capacities as a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-parasitic, and anti-oxidant. It is one of the most diverse natural healers available. Oil of Oregano supplement should not be confused with the herb used in cooking. The cooking herb has no medicinal uses.

What's in Oil of Oregano?

• Carvacrol: This is a natural phenol that has a powerful anti-microbial and fungicidal activity. It is the most important ingredient in Oil of Oregano. Two studies have shown that it appears to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics. It can destroy many different forms of bacteria and is one of Mother Nature’s best antihistamines and decongestants.
• Thymol: natural phenol that boosts the immune system. Both Carvacrol and Thymol also act as free radical scavengers, and prevent further tissue damage while encouraging healing. These two phenols work synergistically and appear in Oil of Oregano in almost ideal proportions. This explains why Oil of Oregano has a far more powerful ability to kill microbes than commercial phenols.
• Terpenes: isomeric phenol. It is a long chain hydrocarbon with natural anti-inflammatory capacity.
• Flavonoids: These contain natural antiseptic and anti-oxidant properties. They neutralize the activities of free radicals in the body, which damage cell structure.
• Vitamins and Minerals: Oil of Oregano contains calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, and manganese, vitamins C and A (beta carotene) and niacin.
