Health Benefits of Oregano Essential Oil
Respiratory Conditions: Oregano essential oil can act as an expectorant, which will loosen up or help eliminate the uncomfortable buildups of mucus and phlegm in the respiratory tracts and sinuses, but it is also a soothing balm for inflamed lungs and the throat, which often stimulate coughing fits. Therefore, oregano essential both prevents and treat symptoms of respiratory ailments.
Anti-inflammatory: This oil is good on soothing many types of inflammation, internal or external, caused by a variety of reasons. When this oil is applied topically, it can reduce redness and irritation to the applied area, and it can relieve topical pain that might be associated with arthritis or injury. When consumed, it has much the same effect, although it is spread throughout the body, so will not necessarily relieve pain and discomfort as quickly.
Antibacterial: Just as it protects you against viral infections, oregano oil protects you against bacterial infectionsas well. This gives you an added level of protection against most bacterial diseases, such as infections in the colon and urinary tract, as well as typhoid, cholera, sores, skin infections and temporary problems like food poisoning. Also, the antibacterial effects of oregano don’t have an inhibitory affect on the healthy, necessary flora in your intestines and stomach, so you don’t suffer from the ill effects of being undefended!
Antifungal: Viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa are the four agents which are responsible for communicable and infectious diseases. Out of these, fungi are responsible for some of the most dreaded and fatal infections, both internal and external. They can cause ugly, painful, and even deadly infections in the ear, nose and throat, which, if not treated early, may reach the brain and prove fatal.
Many skin infections are also caused by these fungi. Oregano Oil, if used regularly, either internally or externally, can effectively protect the body against many of these fungal infections.
Antiviral: Oregano essential oil provides protection against viral infections. This means that it strengthens your immunity against colds, mumps, measles, pox and other problems created by viruses.This boost to the immune system also helps to defend against deadly viral infections and even certain autoimmune disorders. Oregano essential oil stimulates the production and function of white blood cells, the body’s main line of defense.
Antiparasitic: Many types of parasites, such as round worms, tape worms, lice, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and fleas, can live inside or outside the human body. These parasites use the human body as a source of food, and as a vessel or carrier of communicable diseases. Oregano Essential Oil, when ingested, can eliminate intestinal worms, and when it is applied externally, it effectively keeps away lice, bed bugs, mosquitoes, and fleas, so it is not uncommon to find oregano essential oil as a component of organic bug sprays and repellents.
Antioxidant: This property turns out to be one of the most celebrated attributes of oregano essential oil, because it protects you from the damages done to the body by free radicals (oxidants), and it neutralizes the free radicals, while repairing the damage already done. This slows down the aging process and protects against certain cancers, macular degeneration, degeneration of muscle due to aging, wrinkles, loss of vision and hearing, nervous disorders and many such ailments related to premature aging and the effects of free radicals. More specifically, oregano essential oil contains phenols, a powerful form of antioxidant that literally scours the body and eliminates those free radicals that cause disease.

It works
I have septic arthritis and so far nothing has worked, tired of pouring powerful drugs down my throat
Make sure you get it in capsule form because it doesn’t taste too good in the oil
Love your page!!!
For 3 mth I have used oregano frank and thieves down my spine and some very large plantar warts have healed from the inside out! My new miracle oil! And helps keep us healthy
How much oil when feeling a cold come on?
I adopted a yorkie from a horrific puppy mill bust. It took me 9 mos to get her gut regulated. In one week of using P73 Triple Strength Mediterranean oregano oil, her (& my) woes were over.
Literally went from several bloody diarrhea stools per day to one, maybe 2 regular daily. I realize this may be way to graphic to post, but it seriously saved her life & probably thousands in vet bills. I’ve used it for a tooth abscess that 2 rounds of antibiotics couldn’t help. Multiple times this oil has come to the rescue. I make a respiratory oil blend & oregano is definitely one of the 23 ingredients. #originalmedicine
Turmeric caps 4000mg/day has been a God send for my arthritic knees. These with oregano are an amazing combination.
Oh the oil is horrible tastings. I tried water, oj, cranberry juice. Nothing would help that taste lol
Thank you!!
I’ve been using it for years. As soon as someone starts feeling ill, i start giving it to them….used it on my daughter’s staph infection sores on her thigh from the basketball courts. Hers was gone in 2 days but the other girls had shots and meds and theirs lasted over a week….makes plantar warts go away…take in morning with food because if taken at night, you burp it if u lay down…ALSO…very important ….do not take large doses for an extended amt of time because it can make you anemic.
Cynthia Maus, i have this

I use the oregano oil from Doterra now since more then 2 years and I’m super happy with it. I didn’t had to see a doctor for a cold or flu since over 2 years now and didn’t buy any over the counter meds since over 2 years now. PM me if you want to know more.
you should NEVER buy these oils on Amazon. You never know what you get there. It is super easy to refill the bottles and recap the bottles so it looks like new!!!!!
