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
- To topically treat fungal infections on skin and nails, apply with a cotton swab to the affected area up to three times a day.
- For use in the bath, place 1 teaspoon of oil in hot running water.

For Internal Use:
- For dental pain or infection, apply with a cotton swab up to three times daily.
- For Candida infections, apply with a cotton swab up to three times daily.
- To treat colds, flu, and fungal infections, put 5 drops of oil in a few ounces of water or juice and drink/gargle once or twice a day. 1-2 drops may also be placed under the tongue twice a day.
- You can safely apply Oregano Oil to your teeth and gums for infection, canker sores, or inflamed gums. It also kills the bacteria that cause plaque, so you might like to try adding a drop to your toothpaste before brushing your teeth.
