Oregano Oil − Nature’s Most Potent Antibiotic
by Monica Thunder
Whether it’s distilled into an oil, dried into a spice, cooked in a marinade, brewed into a tea, or used fresh, oregano is something you just might want in your diet.
In the world of naturopathic medicine, this small, scrubby, fuzzy green herb has long been known for its strong antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal properties. Oil of oregano concentrates these properties into a potent medicine. In the past few years, this little-researched remedy has therefore garnered attention and acclaim from M.D.’s, journalists, and celebrities alike.
Glancing at some of the first items that pop up on a Google search, it seems oil of oregano can be used to treat just about anything. Yeast infections, foot fungi, respiratory infections, inflammation, MRSA, Listeria, cancer — testimonials abound about the oil’s effectiveness against all kinds of pains and maladies. Due to a lack of research, however, how and when to use oil of oregano is often unclear for those who are interested in the oil as a safer, more natural alternative to pharmaceutical drugs.
“The most important thing to inform some of your decision on some of the herbs and a lot of supplements that are out there — they’re FDA approved but not FDA researched, which has its own pros and cons — is how you feel,” said Artemis Morris, N.D., a naturopathic practitioner, researcher, author, and founder of Revive Wellness Center in Connecticut. “If you want to use oil of oregano in the most informed, clinically responsible way, it would be really important to have a naturopathic physician be someone in your care plan.”
