If one is in search of an all natural antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antispasmodic alternative to over the counter drugs, then look no further than oil of oregano.
Oil of oregano is an excellent remedy for many ailments. I have spoken about other herbs the last few weeks that I believe should be kept on hand for every day use, or emergencies. I highly recommend that oil of oregano be included on your list of necessary herbs and oils.
The above mentioned attributes barely even touch on all of the amazing properties that oil of oregano contributes to the human body, and the environment.
Not all oregano oils are created equal. I suggest the product by, North American Herb & Spice Co. It is the best and purest on the market.
Oil of oregano is not the same as the essential oil of oregano. Such oils are actually made with marjoram, not oregano. Their properties, healing factors, and effects are quite different.
I have used oil of oregano for numerous reasons, and have achieved excellent results.
- Antibacterial: use on cuts, scrapes, sores, add drops to hand soap for an instant antibacterial hand wash.
- Antinflammatory: bug bites, bee stings, etc. (anti venom).
- Antiseptic: add a couple drops to toothpaste and brush as normal.
- Air Freshener/Deodorizer: add 10-15 drops oil of oregano, essential oil of cinnamon, and orange to a spray bottle with H2o.
- Everyday Immunity Booster
