Karen’s Botanicals Uses of Oregano Compound Oil

Please note that our Oregano Oil is ALREADY diluted with certified organic olive and sunflower oils. It is NOT a pure essential oil. This dilution makes it a safer product than the pure oregano essential oil, and makes it ready to use immediately.

Historically, Greek physicians used oregano essential oil for wounds, headaches, and venomous bites and even hemlock poisoning. It wasn't long before its medicinal benefits were used to treat lung conditions, bronchitis, sinusitis, and cold symptoms including cough. During the seventeenth century, it was heralded throughout Great Britain as an effective remedy for head colds. Used by physicians to induce menstruation as early as the nineteenth century, the benefits of oregano essential oil have captured the interest of contemorary researchers.

Oregano oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antiparasitic, and antiseptic properties. For external use, oregano oil is valued as a strong analgesic and antirheumatic agent. The oil is also believed to reduce the discomfort associated with insect bites. Its powerful anti-microbial properties are said to assist in the prevention of infections and to treat skin fungi such as athlete's foot. It has also been used to eliminate lice infestations and intestinal worms.

For External, Topical Use:
- Apply a thin layer to nasal, neck, and lip areas as a protective barrier against germs and infection
