Oregano Essential Oil

Q: What happens if I take Oregano Oil daily?
A: When used as directed, Essential Oregano Oil should be safe. In too-high doses, it may have detrimental effects. This may be due in part to thymol, one of the phenols it contains. In high doses, thymol is a mild irritant which might affect the skin or internal organs. 

Q: Where the highest quality of Oregano comes from?
A: Greek oregano (Origanum vulgare heracleoticum) is considered to be the best around the world due to its very high carvacrol content which is the main active ingredient.

Q: Can Oregano Oil heal the gut?
A: Oregano Essential Oil may benefit gut health by killing gut parasites and protecting against leaky gut syndrome.

Q: Have there been studies on Oregano Oil as an alternative to antibiotics?
A: Yes...

1. University of Arizona Study (2001): A groundbreaking study at the University of Arizona found that Oregano Essential Oil exhibited potent antimicrobial activity against various bacterial strains, including those resistant to commonly prescribed antibiotics.
2. Indian Journal of Experimental Biology (2012): Research published in this esteemed journal highlighted Oregano Essential Oil's effectiveness against drug-resistant bacterial strains, indicating its potential as a natural antibiotic alternative.
3. Journal of Medical Microbiology (2007): This study demonstrated the remarkable ability of Oregano Essential Oil to inhibit the growth of antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus, showcasing its promising role in combating bacterial infections.

• Always dissolve this essential Oil of Oregano before use, it in a Carrier Oil such as Olive Oil or Coconut Oil. A good ratio is 1:10 (10%) to 2:10 (20%) (10% is one drop of oregano oil, and the remaining 90% is 9 drops of Carrier Oil)
• You can use it internally or externally. Internally dilute the oregano oil in carrier oil, 4 drops, twice daily. If you use externally should not be forwarded to the open wounds. Always consult your health care practitioner before use. Do not exceed daily recommended intake.
• Open and handle carefully (on a flat surface or saucer maybe), as the undiluted/neat oil may burn or give a burning sensation if it comes into contact with skin. If you will be storing a bottle for some time, it's advisable to refrigerate as the oil can otherwise become a little more potent over time (increase of carvacrol) and therefore particularly require careful handling. In the event of experiencing any sort of burn, a customer has indicated to us they found Shea Butter to be the best option to soothe this.
• Breaks in use: Broadly speaking, with both the oil and softgels, we'd suggest at least a 7 day break after 20 days of use.
• For internal use: A good ratio is 10% to 20%. The best way is to dissolve it is in olive oil. It is very simple, just take a full tea spoon of olive oil and add 4 drops of Oregano Oil to it. Now you drink it. Make sure you drink a glass of water after. You can do this twice daily. Heat sensation is normal. If the mixture is too strong for you, start with 2 drops Oregano Oil and gradually step up to 4 drops. If you do not have olive oil then put 4 drops Oregano Oil in half a glass of water, milk, or juice and drink it. Then drink clean water. Also don’t worry as the heat sensation is normal. In a nutshell, Oregano oil is a powerful substance, so we advise to begin with the tiniest possible dose to see how your body reacts. You can slowly increase the amount you take, once you see how your body responds.
• For external use: A good ratio is 20% -30% (depends on the use and treatment). Put 10-15 drops Oregano Oil in a full table spoon of olive oil or another carrier oil (jojoba oil etc) or cream, lotion or body milk and use. Do not apply it on open wounds. Heat sensation is normal. If the mixture is too strong for you then reduce ratio. If the mixture is too weak for you increase the ratio.
