What Is Oregano Oil?
Botanically known as Origanum vulgare, oregano is a flowering plant from the same family as mint. It’s often used as an herb to flavor food. Oregano essential oil is made by air-drying the leaves and shoots of the plant. Once they’re dried, people extract the oil and concentrate it by steam distillation. You can mix oregano essential oil with a carrier oil and apply it topically. Oregano oil extract, on the other hand, can be produced via several extraction methods using compounds like carbon dioxide or alcohol. It’s widely available as a supplement and can often be found in pill or capsule form. Oregano contains compounds called phenols, terpenes, and terpenoids.
They have powerful antioxidant properties and are responsible for their fragrance:
Carvacrol. The most abundant phenol in oregano, it has been shown to stop the growth of several different types of bacteria.
Thymol. This natural antifungal can also support the immune system and protect against toxins.
Rosmarinic acid. This powerful antioxidant helps protect against damage caused by free radicals.
These compounds are thought to underlie oregano’s many health benefits.
Some of The Ways I Can Use Oregano Oil:
Topically
Before using it on your skin, always mix it with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil or olive oil. This helps reduce the risk for irritation and adverse reactions by diluting the oil.
To use oregano oil topically for skin issues, dilute one or two drops into a teaspoon of carrier oil in the palm of your hand. A person can then apply this mixture directly to the skin.
   -Athlete’s Foot
Dilute one or two drops into a teaspoon of Organic Cold Pressed Castor Oil in the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to mix, and apply to affected foot each night before bed. Wear socks to avoid rubbing mixture off onto your sheets.
Internally
For internal use, take 1 to 4 drops diluted in, 1/2 cup or more of water, twice daily for up to 10 days.
