Origin and Composition
Oregano oil is extracted from the Origanum vulgare plant and “has a well-established history in traditional medicine,
primarily due to its powerful antimicrobial capabilities.”
Its effectiveness comes from active compounds like carvacrol and thymol,
which provide “robust antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal effects.”
Gut Health Benefits
Research shows oregano oil can fight intestinal parasites such as giardia and pinworms,
helping to “cleanse the digestive tract.”
This may improve nutrient absorption and overall gut health.
Urinary Health Support
The oil’s antimicrobial properties also extend to the urinary system,
helping to “inhibit the proliferation of harmful bacteria” and support urinary tract health.
Safety and Use
Due to its potency, oregano oil should always be diluted and used cautiously.
“Consulting a healthcare professional before use is highly recommended,”
especially for those with medical conditions or on medications.
