The basics

Oregano oil, derived from the popular herb used in Greek and Italian cuisine, has been hailed as a potent natural remedy due to its high concentration of beneficial compounds like carvacrol and thymol. These components are the powerhouse behind oregano oil's many health benefits, which range from acting as a natural antibiotic to displaying strong antioxidant properties.

The Science

The primary compounds in oregano oil that contribute to its medicinal properties are carvacrol and thymol, two diterpenes. These compounds have been extensively studied for their antimicrobial and antioxidant abilities.

Carvacrol, in particular, has shown promising results in combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli, proving its efficacy as a natural antibiotic. Its cholesterol-lowering properties have also been highlighted in a 3-month study. Furthermore, oregano oil, mainly when concentrated, exhibits antioxidant properties that outstrip many commonly consumed fruits like apples and blueberries.

Thymol, another critical compound in oregano oil, also exhibits strong antimicrobial and antifungal properties, helping combat yeast overgrowth in the gut and reducing the occurrence of diseases linked to pathogenic bacteria.

How will I know its working?

The effects of oregano oil may vary based on individual health, lifestyle, and the specific concerns it's being used to address.

You may notice improved gut health symptoms, such as less bloating or discomfort, or a boost in general immunity.

If used for cholesterol management, a blood test would best evaluate its effectiveness.

When to take it?

Take 1-2 capsules daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
