Oil of Oregano: Nature's Miraculous Medicine

Can you imagine an amazing herb strong enough to sterilize
sewage water, but gentle enough not to harm human tissue?
Most of us are very familiar with this herb as it is used
for flavoring in cooking. Now more of us are realizing the
incredible health benefits of this herb when it is
delivered in essential oil form. Essential oils work far
faster than teas and many times faster than capsules and
are readily digestible and quickly absorbed and assimilated
into our physical system. We all have heard of oregano as
it is used on our pizza. Now we can realize the health
benefits of oregano in essential oil form.

The results of research done in 1910 by W.H. Martindale,
lead him to conclude that "the essential oil of oregano is
the most powerful plant-derived antiseptic known."
Research in 1977 done by Dr. Belaniche resulted in his
"oregano Index" against which all other antibacterial
substances are compared. Oil of Oregano is the closest to
being the ideal antibacterial agent. Dr. Blaiche states
"Among the more active of oils, Oregano is the best of the
best. The essential oil of oregano has always provided me
with amazing results in treating infectious diseases. Dr.
Jean Valnet who is a French authority on the use and
benefits of essentials oils, states that essential oils
"proved to be many times more effective at killing
pathogenic microorganisms than antibiotics."

An active ingredient of oil of oregano is carvacrol which
has been found to help relieve upper respiratory infections
such as colds and sinus infections. It potently inhibits
platelet aggression which is a risk factor in blood clot
formation that is a major cause of strokes and heart
attacks. Oil of oregano, in one study, was found to reduce
melanoma by 50% in vitro. Oil of oregano has powerful
anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-parasitic properties. This
is important because parasites and viruses, like yeasts,
cannot be treated successfully by antibiotics. In a 1966
study published in Medical sciences Research, it was shown
that oil of oregano killed RNA and DNA viruses such as sold
sores, genital herpes, and shingles. This makes it a very
beneficial for treating the conditions of colds and flu.
Oil of oregano is significantly effective in treating
various forms of harmful parasites. Oil of oregano is an
effective digestive aid. Oil of oregano has also been found
to surpass prescription synthetic anti-inflammatory drugs
in it's effectiveness in relieving and reversing pain and
has been said to be almost as powerful as morphine. Oil of
oregano has been shown to strengthen the immune system. As
an antioxidant, it halts the formation of cholesterol which
is responsible for arteriosclerosis, i.e. hardening of the
arteries.

An extra advantage of oil of oregano is that it can be used
either topically or internally, depending upon the need and
target ailment e.g. acne, allergies, arthritis, asthma,
athlete's foot, blood clots, bronchitis, candida, canker
sores, colds, flu, constipation, croup, dandruff, diarrhea,
digestive disorders, earaches, fatigue, fungal infection,
gastrointestinal infection, gum disease, hay fever,
headaches, inflammation, insect bites, menstrual
irregularities, muscle pain parasites, psoriasis, ringworm,
rosacea, seborrhea, sinusitis, thrombus, toenail fungus,
and immune system.

oregano when it is used in essential oil form .It's long
list of health benefits makes it one of nature's best kept
secrets, a natural health aid that is a remarkably
miraculous and versatile medicine. If we are suffering from
