OREGANO

origanum vulgare {10ml}

Oregano Essential Oil

Product Summary

Oregano is considered to be the “heavy artillery” when waging war against bacterial infections. Many studies have confirmed it as a potent antibiotic, antifungal, antiseptic, antispasmodic, and antiviral, and it is unmatched in its ability to kill a wide range of pathogenic bacteria.*

Some aromatherapists advise against using Oregano Essential Oil because it’s so powerful, but when used responsibly it can be even more effective than antibiotics in eliminating harmful bacteria. It also rivals morphine as a powerful pain reliever.*

Although Oregano essential oil is truly impressive as a natural antiseptic, it contains a high amount of phenols which make it extremely strong. It has the potential to burn skin and mucous membranes if used undiluted. Always dilute 1 part Oregano to 10 parts carrier oil before applying it topically. When taken internally, it should only be used in capsules diluted with carrier oil (maximum of 3 drops Oregano per capsule). Ingesting Oregano Essential Oil by mouth without using capsules can potentially damage the lining of the esophagus.*

Uses

  • Dilute 60 drops of Oregano in 1 ounce of carrier oil and apply down the spine to support the immune system or relieve pain.*

  • The best place to apply Oregano topically for systemic benefit is the soles of the feet. Apply 6 drops of the diluted mixture on each foot twice a day for immune support in fighting infections.*

  • For clearing intestinal parasites, take 3 drops daily in a capsule with carrier oil; six days on and one day off, for a total of 6 weeks.*

  • Should only be diffused under extreme circumstances, with great caution, to kill black mold or environmental toxins. Make sure everyone is out of the room during diffusion and for 8 hours afterwards.*

Responsible Cautions

  • Oregano is a very “hot” oil, making it a strong skin and mucous membrane irritant. In case of undiluted contact with skin, immediately apply carrier oil or olive oil; do not attempt to wash off with water as this will drive the oil further into the skin tissue and magnify the problem.*
