Researchers have found that carvacrol, the main compound in oregano oil, disrupts part of the process that leads to the creation and accumulation of fat tissue. Some sources claim that oregano oil may help fight some cancers. One review notes that the essential oil from oregano helps prevent some types of colon cancer and breast cancer from growing in test tubes.
The oil also appeared to inhibit the growth of some lung cancer and prostate cancer cells. Much of the research in cancer comes from test tubes or animal models, so people should view the results with caution and never use oils as a replacement for medical treatment.
Oregano oil comes in capsules and as a liquid. It is available for purchase in most health food stores and online. People who do not enjoy the taste of oregano should choose the capsules, which they can swallow without tasting the oil. To use oregano oil topically for skin issues, dilute one or two drops in a carrier oil.
A person can then apply this mixture directly to the skin. Be sure not to take too much oregano oil, as it is very potent. It is best to use it sparingly under the guidance of a healthcare practitioner.
There is significant risk of burning internal tissue if a person takes the oil orally. Do not use oregano oil on children or infants.
Pregnant or breastfeeding women and people with diabetes should also refrain from using it. Oregano oil can interfere with some medications, including lithium and diuretics. Also, it is possible to be allergic to the oil. Oregano oil is powerful and may help with a range of issues. While it can, for example, be an antimicrobial remedy, it should not replace medical treatment. Be careful to use oregano oil and not oregano essential oil, which is much stronger and not safe to consume.
Some people use essential oils to relieve symptoms of a cold or flu. However, they cannot cure the flu or any other virus, and there may be some risks. Sorry about that! Hey Sonja — whoops, I added suggestions for using the oil to the bottom of the post.
Love the herbal remedy!! You may want to look into that, but I do love the recipe! Leave it to you Sayward to come swooping in as my night in shining armor! I have used it topically to remove suspect moles and they disappear in a few weeks. Word of advice though, I used it undiluted and it can irritate the skin around the mole or growth so try to keep it as contained as possible.
I usually apply it carefully using a q-tip! Oh my goodness!! So thank you!!! I was so excited I scrolled down to comment before reading LOL. Is botulism not a risk here? I thought it was any time a wet thing eg fresh leaves was infused in oil. I may very well be off base though…certainly not an expert on these things!
Thank you for the great tip, I will def. I was just wondering how long it will keep if I store it in the fridge? Thanks so much for the tutorial, Sayward! As a tangential question, is your MSc thesis- or project-based?
I purchased oil of oregano a year ago and when the bottle ran out I was devastated. We use it everyday hub, son and myself. I am so so happy to know I can make this on my own, greatly appreciated. Hi Jessie, thanks os much for your comment. I see that it is, in fact, a potential risk. I updated the post to include some words of caution. Thank you for bringing this to my attention!
No problem! I thought that using dried herbs reduced the risk, but am not seeing anything about that on the cdc page. I am seeing something about potatoes baked in foil being related to botulism. What the heck! This might be my paranoia acting up, but please humor me! I started my infusion last weekend and today I noticed the tip of one leaf was poking out of the oil and starting to get a bit fuzzy. I scooped it out and topped up the oil so everything is covered.
Can I keep this or am I going to die a horrible painful death? Oregano oil, though simple, does it all. Oregano oil, sometimes referred to as oil of oregano, has been shown to exhibit some rather potent antibacterial , antiviral, and antifungal properties. It has proven itself to be an effective agent against yeast infections like candida, intestinal parasites, and of course, cold and flu beasties. The only caveat?
Buying oregano oil can be a bit pricey depending on the source. While I really love the P73 oregano oil by N. To begin, make sure that the oregano is free of any dirt or debris by washing it thoroughly with water. Dry it completely using a towel. I will often dry it with a towel, then let it sit out to further air dry. Next, remove the leaves from the stems and add them to the jar. If you use the stems, cut them up into pieces with scissors to help them macerate in the olive oil.
