Oregano is one of the most popular herbs for a variety of types of cuisine, especially Italian. But did you know oregano oil is a potent medicine, used in healing practices for hundreds of years?
Oregano oil is antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal and loaded with other health benefits as well. Oregano oil is known for its ability to reduce pain and inflammation as well as fight illnesses. Both safe and reliable, it’s an excellent natural treatment for colds, asthma, and more. It can help relieve symptoms of the nasal passageways, respiratory tract and throat. Many modern medications cannot help when symptoms overlap in this way, as they so often do, but oregano oil is capable of healing the whole body. You see, oregano oil is rich in nature’s best antihistamines and decongestants – flavonoids, carvacrol, and terpenes. It also contains rosmarinic acid, which research has shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent.
Oregano oil is an old remedy, now known to be as effective as most antibiotics at killing bad bacteria and stopping infections in their tracks. Oregano oil, however, won’t kill off beneficial bacteria and it can also help fight against viruses like the flu. This one to keep in your cabinet!
