A member of the mint family (Labiatae) oil of oregano is not what you put on your
pizza sauce. Found in the Mediterranean, medicinal grade oregano is distilled to
extract the essential oil and to preserve its healing compounds.
Taking over 1000 pounds of wild oregano to produce just 1 pound of oregano oil,
it has been precious commodity for over 2,500 years in folk medicine expanding
the globe.
Over 800 studies reference carvacrol in PubMed, the worlds #1 database for
scientic evidence-based literature, which emphasizes that research is quite
supportive of its healing capacity. To give you a sense of what I mean, carvacrol
has been proven to reverse or reduce:
Bacterial infections
Fungal infections
Parasites
Viruses
Inammation
Candida
Allergies
Tumors

Antibiotic Power
This past December, Journal of Medicinal Food published a study that evaluated
the antibacterial activity of oregano oil against 5 different types bad bacteria. After
evaluating the anti-bacterial characteristics of oil of oregano it showed signicant
anti-bacterial properties against all 5 species of harmful bacteria.
Interestingly, the highest activity was observed against E. Coli, which suggests
that oregano oil should be routinely used to promote gastrointestinal health and
to prevent deadly food poisoning.

Two years prior, researchers from Pakistan published similar results in the journal
Revista Brasileira de Farmacognosia in addition to proving oregano oils ability to
kill cancer cells of various types!
For instance, late last year, a study out of European Review for Medical and
Pharmacological Sciences helped put the predominant phenol in oil of oregano in
a league of its own. Shown to protect against methotrexate toxicity in rats,
carvacrol was shown to prevent side effects to some of the worlds most
dangerous drugs!
Methotrexate (MTX) is a drug commonly used to treat a wide array of issues from
cancer to rheumatoid arthritis. Well-known to have dangerous side effects,
researchers from Turkey evaluated oil of oreganos ability to keep these factors at
bay because antioxidants and anti-inammatory drugs have proven to be
ineffective at providing full protection against MTX.
By evaluating various markers in the sciatic nerve in mice, it was observed for the
rst time that carvacrol decreased the pro-inammatory response in mice being
treated by MTX. Being a relatively new concept in the research world, I expect to
see more studies testing these results because groundbreaking doesnt even
begin to describe the signicance of this study.
In a similar way, researchers from the Netherlands have even shown that oregano
oil can also prevent bacterial overgrowth and colonization in the large intestine
during oral iron therapy. Used to treat iron deciency anemia, oral iron therapy is
well-known to cause a series of gastrointestinal issues like nausea, diarrhea,
constipation, heartburn and vomiting.
It should be noted that these two studies give hope to people who long to

manage the horrible suffering that accompanies drugs and medical interventions.
For someone on chemo or taking iron therapy, these little things mean all the
world.
I personally take oregano oil internally for a maximum of two weeks in most cases
because its so powerful. Also, when taking internally, it should be diluted with
water or mixed with coconut oil. The dried herb oregano is typically ne for
pregnant women but when using oil of oregano pregnant women should use
caution and only use if instructed by physician to do so.
