Benefits and Uses of Oregano Oil
Using oregano oil around the homestead is invigorating! Here are
some of the many benefits and uses of oregano oil:

#1: Oregano Essential Oil is a digestive aid.
One of the primary uses of oregano essential oil is as a digestive
aid. Oregano oil is an antifungal that treats fungus, candida, and
even parasites.

Candida: If you have a white coat on your tongue, you likely
have candida albicans and essential oil of oregano can help
kill it! Candida Albicans is a kind of yeast infection, or fungi,
found in the mouth, intestinal tract and vaginal area. If you
have candida, you can look to oregano oil as well as clove
oil, myrrh oil and lavender essential oil help to kill parasites
and fungi in the body. Take a food grade supplement of
oregano oil, ensuring it is Italian oregano (Origanum
vulgare). Again, be sure it's a food grade oregano oil!

E. Coli (Escherichia Coli). Oregano essential oil may help
with E. Coli! In an abstract on oregano essential oil
published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National
Institutes of Health, it's documented that the oral
application of oregano essential oil inhibits E. Coli. In
another report, the some pathogenic bacteria, including
Salmonella choleraesuis, Salmonella enteritidis, S.
typhimurium, and E. coli) were studied and proven to be
inhibited by the essential oils of thyme and oregano. The
study of antimicrobial properties of oregano essential oil
(and thyme essential oil), concluded "strong antimicrobial
activity against various bacterial, fungal, and viral
pathogens." Carvacrol, in the composition of oregano oil is
effecive against many kinds of bacterial infections, including
also salmonella, giardia, listeria and more.

HOW TO USE OREGANO ESSENTIAL OIL FOR E. Coli: Most
people recover from E. Coli in 5-10 days without medical
attention. People with blood or kidney problems should
seek immediate medical attention if available. Dr. Josh
Axe suggests "taking oregano oil internally, mix it with
water or coconut oil."

Parasites. Oregano essential oil can help with parasites.
The nasty problem of parasites has many natural remedies.
Generally, parasites come from an imbalanced gut flora and
they can take over if you have a weakened immune system,
but oregano essential oil

Other antiparasitic essential oils include:

HOW TO USE OREGANO ESSENTIAL OIL FOR PARASITES:
Dr. Joseph Mercola recommends, diluting oil of oregano
with a coconut oil and placing it under the tongue to
help kill parasites and ease infections. "Hold it there for
a few minutes, and then rinse it out. Repeat this at
least four times a day," He says.

#2: Oregano Essential Oil is an antifungal.
One of the ancient uses of oregano oil is as an antifungal. There
are many published scientific medical studies on the properties
and effectiveness of Carvacrol, ingredient found in maximum
content in Oregano Oil. With very strong antifungal properties, it
can kill the fungus at a rate of nearly 100% and in a short time.

Right is Fungus Stop, made with the power of Oregano Oil! This
best seller treats nail fungus and claims to be 99.9% effective
treatment as an antifungal for toenails and fingernails. The main
active ingredient of Fungus Stop is Carvacrol.

Toenail fungus. If you have a thickening of the nail bed on
your toes, you may have toenail fungus. You can treat the
condition with daily drops of oregano essential oil applied to
the nails, allowing full saturation. The toenail fungus will
disappear after a couple of months. It's a slow, but
extremely effective natural solution to this ugly, sometimes
painful, and pesky condition. The composition of oregano oi;
inlcudes Thymol, a natural fungicide.

HOW TO USE FOR TOENAIL FUNGUS: Dr. Joseph Mercola
recommends, adding "a few teaspoons of oregano oil in
a basin of water and soak your feet in it."

#3: Oregano essential oil is an antibacterial.
Oregano essential oil is an effective germicide, bactericide.An
active ingredient of oregano essential oil is carvacrol a substance
that inhibits the growth of bacteria and can help the immune
system take action against viruses, fungi and parasites.
Carvacrol, which is effective against a variety of bacterial
infections, notably:

candida albicans (yeast infection)
Escherichia coli(E. coli )) ~ In a study of oregano essential oil
published by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, National
Institutes of Health, oregano essential oil was found to heal
bacterial infections and was proven to be an alternative
antibacterial remedy for Escherichia coli (E. coli).
salmonella
giardia
listeria

Whereas an antibacterial is an agent active against bacteria, an
antiseptic specifically prevents growth.

#4: Oregano Essential Oil is an antiseptic.
The active ingredient of oregano essential, thymol, has antiseptic
properties. Dr. Joseph Mercola says it's thymol that is also a
natural fungicide, and it even "helps boost your immune system,
works as a shield against toxins, and even helps prevent tissue
damage and encourages healing."

Aside from the health benefits, another way to use oregano
essential oil in prepping, is to ward off insects and even relief
bug bites and rashes.

To use this powerful antimicrobial to help fight off infections, you
can apply to the skin neat without carrier oils; however, applying
"neat" is not for everyone and oregano essential oil is strong.

#5: Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic.
Oregano oil is a natural antibiotic. An antibiotic, whether natural
or man made, is a medicine that inhibits the growth of or
destroys microorganisms. Generally it can be taken as a topical
solution or taken internally. With oregano oil you can diffuse it as
well!

Use oregano oil topically. Apply neat or preferably with a
carrier oil. Right, is organic food grade oregano oil that can
be used topically and orally. Apply to area, several times a
day. Reapply before bed. Wait several minutes before
wearing clothes, to allow the essential oil to absorb into
skin. Heat sensation is normal.

Take internally. Take a dietary supplement of oregano oil,
ensuring it is food grade only. Right Oregano oil is available
in soft gels.

Diffuse oregano oil: It's great to diffuse oregano oil when
seasonal illness comes. Oregano is a traditional Italian folk
medicine for treating colds, indigestion and stomach upset.
There is science to back up the home remedy.

Again, the active ingredient in Oil of Oregano is carvacrol, which
may provide support to the immune system and it also inhibits
the growth of bacteria. According to Dr. Oz, "Oil of oregano, which
is distilled from the flowers and leaves of the oregano plant,
could be one of nature's most powerful antibiotics."

#6: Oregano essential oil offers immune support.
Oregano oil is an antioxidant and can kill bad bacteria. Oregano
essential oil is well-regarded as one of the best oils to support
the immune system!

Cancer: Oregano essential oil can help inhibit the growth of
cancer, thanks in part to Naringin, a healthy compound found
in oregano oil. Rosmarinic acid also is in the composition of
oregano oil, and this compound helps prevent free radical
damage.

Colds: Did you know that about a quarter of people who have
a cold virus don't feel the down effects? There are more than
200 viruses that can cause a cold and your immune system
responds differently from other people in your life. Bad
bacteria can infect your sinuses or your ears.

Shingles. Shingles is painful and oregano oil can help! Dr.
Josh Axe recommends taking "2 drops of an essential oil and
mix it with 1/4 teaspoon of coconut oil and rub it on areas of
shingles pain." Oregano essential oil is one of five natural
treatment options he recommends for Shingles pain. See
also the prepper guide to dealing with Shingl es.

#7: Improve joint health with oregano oil.
Spicy and invigorating, Oil of Oregano has been used to support
digestive, respiratory and joint health. Beware that oil of Oregano
is very pungent and for some taking it in capsule form is the best
alternative! Oregano, a gel capsule, is made of Oil of Wild
Oregano and does not contain any additives or chemicals.

#8: Ward off insects with the scent of oregano oil.
Bugs don't like the strong smell of oregano oil, especially ticks,
so go ahead and wear a little oregano oil mixed with a carrier to
detract and repel insects while outdoors. You can also add the oil
directly to your outdoor wood furniture.

#9: Relieve bug bites with oil of oregano.
In case you forgot to wear your oregano oil to get rid of the bugs,
you can at least use the oregano oil to relieve the bug bites. Use
olive oil as a carrier oil with oregano oil to dilute.

Learn how to grow oregano! Oregano is an ideal drought resistant
plant. A sideline benefit is that it will help you repel the pests
that want to nibble at your broccoli.

#10: Cure tooth infections with Oil of Oregano.
Oregano oil can also help with tooth infections.

HOW TO USE OIL OF OREGANO FOR TOOTH INFECTIONS:

Start with a tablespoon of coconut oil and a drop of oregano
essential oil and mix. Swish the mixture by mouth for 10
minutes before spitting. Do this twice daily until you can
seek dental care or until the pain goes away!

Alternatively, you can use cotton or an ear swab to dab a
few drops of oregano oil and then rub directly onto the
inflamed gum area. To help prevent new bacteria from
aggravating the inflammation, it's important not to use your
fingers as you may reinfect the already sensitive area.

Cooking with Oregano
Using oregano oil in prepping doesn't need to stop with essential
oils. Knowing the benefits and uses of oregano oil, you may like
to start an herb garden to include oregano, or stock dried oregano.

Incidentally, the Italian spice in your cupboard, spaghetti sauce
and pizza sauce that you think is oregano is actually marjoram,
not oregano. It's an oregano-like product that's actually Mexican
sage. Be sure to use real oregano in your cooking.
