Besides
being a fixture in many cookbooks, Oregano oil is a potent weapon against fungi and bacteria. The Oregano shrub comes from the
Mediterranean, where its medicinal properties have been known for centuries.
Oregano is used these days for respiratory conditions, digestive health, clear skin and a healthy immune system. Oregano Oil is commonly available in any drugstore.
If you don't have the oil, trying pouring boiling water over some oregano leaves.
How does Oregano Oil work?
Oregano oil contains two naturally occurring antimicrobial agents named Carvacrol and Thymol. It appears that these chemicals react with the water in your bloodstream to actually dehydrate germs and fungi.
Luckily, this only affects germs and yeasts – oregano oil leaves the helpful bacteria to continue their work.
In a 2001 study, Oregano Oil was shown to inhibit the growth of the Staphylococcus bacteria just as effectively as 3 standard antibiotics. As a completely natural remedy, patients also do not suffer from the side effects associated with powerful prescription drugs.
How do you take Oregano Oil?
If you have the dried herb, simply pour boiling water over it to prepare a tea. Do this on a larger scale to prepare an additive for a soothing healthy bath. If you have the oregano oil, add 1-4 drops in water or juice, once or twice daily.
Several weeks of Oregano Oil supplements will be needed to deal with a Candida infection.
Who should not take Oregano Oil?
People with Iron deficiencies should be aware that Oregano oil can temporarily impair the body’s ability to absorb iron.
Oregano Oil Side Effects
Some patients may notice a small allergic reaction to the oil, in the form of rashes on the skin. Oregano Oil is essentially very safe though.
