Oregano Oil Benefits

Oregano Oil Benefits
Oregano Oil. 

I bet you have heard of it. It is probably one of the most powerful antibiotics known to science. And the best thing is, it is all natural! This powerful herb has incredible healing properties and is high in antioxidants that we need to protect against free radicals. 

Carvacrol is the main compound in this oil, which has been found to be a powerful antibacterial against multiple strains of bacteria and prevents bacteria from multiplying. Carvacrol is amazing in that it ONLY kills harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial probiotic bacteria. Whaaaa?? There are a number of studies that have been referenced in PubMed, which is a large database for scientific evidenced-based literature. Check out this reputable site for over 800 studies in which carvacol has been referenced. 

So what does this really mean? Does it matter? Well, yes! This is important as conventional antibiotics detroy a lot of bacteria, including beneficial bacteria which are required for digestion and impact our mood. On the mental health side, gut health and digestion specifically impact anxiety, depression, autism, bipolar and more. 

In addition to supporting mental health, oregano essential oil is effective in treating a variety of health issues including lung issues (pneumonia, sinusitis, asthma, bronchitis), ear infections, flu/colds, candida overgrowth, tuberculosis, arthritis, animal bites, giardia, rashes, diarrhea, and sore throat, just to name a few.

Oregano essential oil:
  • Can destroy organisms that contribute to the development of skin infections and problems with bladder, digestion, urinary, and food poisoning.
  • Simulates the immune system.
  • Increases the connection and flexibility of muscles.
  • Improves respiratory health. In cases of pulmonary disease or shortness of breath, puffs of oil will help your breathing in.
  • Can be used for skin issues like athlete’s foot, acne, and dandruff.
  • Can also help joint and muscle pains and cold sores.
As you know, quality matters! I only trust Young Living as they are my product partner and have done the research to support the best products. I love knowing that I will reap the greatest benefits due to the quality of this product. Check out the Seed to Seal Promise to learn more!

So, you want to reap the benefits?  Although it’s all natural, oregano oil is still an antibiotic. It should only be taken for a short time. Oregano essential oil can be used topically, diffused or taken internally. Note that Oregano oil is considered a "hot" oil and needs to be diluted due to the potency, especially if using on the skin, especially on a child's skin. Research dilution ratios for safety. 

Here are some recommended ways to take Oregano Oil: 

1. Add 2-3 drops of oregano oil in a glass of water and drink to treat a systematic infection or soothe a sore throat.
2. Combine 2-3 drops of oregano oil with small amount of aloe vera gel or coconut oil, and apply on nail fungus, acne, cold sores, shingles or psoriasis skin condition. Do not use oregano essential oil on broken or sensitive skin as it may cause a burning sensation. With every application, use a clean cotton pad to avoid spreading the bacteria.
3. Combine same parts of oregano essential oil with career oil such as coconut oil or organic olive oil and apply to sore muscles, joints, and backaches for relief.
4. Add 3-4 drops of oregano essential oil in a glass of water and drink 2-3 times daily before meals to stimulate your immune system when you’re feeling under the weather.
5. Add 1-2 drops of oregano essential oil on your toothbrush with toothpaste, for eliminating bacteria that cause cavities and bad breath.
6. Mix 1-2 drops into a spoonful of honey to take for sore throat, coughing and immune boosting. 

Guidelines for taking Oregano essential oil
Before using oregano essential oil, put a drop of it on your arm to make sure there is no reaction. Add 3 to 4 drops of 100 percent therapeutic grade oregano essential oil in a glass of water and drink 2-3 times daily before meals. For some people, these few drops may cause a little burning sensation in the mouth. Therefore, if you cannot handle it, lower the number of drops.
Take oregano essential oil orally only for 7 to 10 days at a time. If needed, take a 7-day break, and continue another 7 to 10 days. Oregano essential oil is so potent that it must not be taken on a long-term basis.
The benefit of natural antibiotics is that they don’t cause any side effects as they don’t destroy the beneficial probiotic bacteria, thus can only improve the health of your gut flora.




Meet Judith C. Labert

 
Hello! Welcome
Thanks so much for coming by! 

I used to be a body builder and gym-nut- But the "perfect storm" of events ended up disrupting my physical, mental and emotional health, creating imbalanced hormones, weight gain and a loss of self. I have struggled with Chronic Fatigue and negative emotions, such as self-loathing. Through my own journey, coupled with my professional training, I have learned many tools like the power of using Conscious Language and have expanded my knowledge about how emotions and language impact the body, how our environment contributes to our health and the body's well being, and how mindset matters! As I have improved my health and regained my sense of self, I am now on a mission! In this world, with all the emotional (and physical!) pains, I commit myself to helping other's learn and grow to be better, healthier versions of themselves.

I am still healing (it is an on-going journey of health) but am thriving more each day that passes. I am now an International Best Selling Author, as some of my story was published in a book collaboration that was published October 2021! I am a mom of two girls and a wife, a fitness lover and beach explorer. I enjoy a variety of music and love road trips. I wear Chacos and tank tops every day possible! I grew up in Wyoming but love living in the milder climate of Southern Oregon. I lam happy in warm weather and at the beach. I support my husband in his Art and Automotive Restoration business and in his hobby of restoring a '57 Oldsmobile. We are looking forward to taking it on a cross country trip in it when it is complete! We both cherish family and enjoy sharing new experiences together.

 I am excited for you to join me on this journey!
