February 19, 2014 By Vanessa Rae Romero

Oil of Oregano: 4 Health Benefits of Nature's Antibiotic | healthylivinghowto.com

Oil of oregano is nature's antibiotic. The powerful antioxidants in oregano oil have antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties, making oregano oil a beneficial natural alternative to many types of traditional medicine.

Oil of Oregano: 4 Health Benefits of Nature's Antibiotic

The main healing constituents found in oil of oregano include:

  • Carvacrol – effective against candida albicans, the aspergillus mold, staphylococcus, campylobacter, klebsiella, e.coli, giardia, pseudomonas, salmonella, and listeria.
  • Thymol – a natural fungicide with antiseptic properties. Thymol is an immune system booster and a shields against toxins.
  • Terpenes – have potent antibacterial properties and give off a pine scent.
  • Rosmarinic acid –  a stronger antioxidant than vitamin E which prevents free radical damage. Rosmarinic acid is effective in the treatment of allergic asthma and is also a natural antihistamine.

Oil of oregano also contains a good amount of the vitamin E complex, as well as calcium, magnesium, zinc, iron, potassium, copper, boron, manganese, vitamins A and C, and niacin.

Oil of Oregano is Antibacterial

Oregano oil has been shown to have antibacterial properties. Oregano oil can be used to treat common colds and bronchitis when taken at the first sign of symptoms. Oregano oil blends have been found to help people suffering from stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria.

Common fungal infections, such as fingernail fungus, yeast infections and thrush, can be treated with oregano oil. Topical use of oregano oil has been found to treat effectively fungal skin infections, such as athletes foot.

Oil of Oregano is Anti-Inflammatory

Oregano oil functions as a powerful anti-inflammatory and pain-killer. The natural antioxidants found in large quantities in oregano oil function to reduce swelling and inflammation.

Oil of Oregano is a Digestive Aid

Oregano oil taken internally stimulates the production of bile, which aids in digestion. It can also reduce the symptoms of gas, indigestion and diarrhea. The ancient Greeks were the first society documented to use oregano oil medicinally.

“In addition to its culinary uses, oil of oregano may be useful for fighting off many types of infections, making it a useful home remedy.” Dr. Mercola

AND JUST LIKE THAT...our little buddy is seven!!! He loves the great outdoors; fishing, swimming, and four-wheeling are his favorite things. He wakes up happy and goes to bed happy. He is super sweet and gives the best hugs. He is humming, singing, or whistling at all times. He makes us all smile and spreads joy wherever he goes. Happy birthday Asher, you are oh so loved!!! 💜

Since the very beginning of our time with Young Living Essential Oils, I have asked God what I did to deserve the success we’ve had. He has blessed and enriched our lives with so so so many special people that I deeply care about. We are excited when new members say yes and super sad when members move along. Yesterday, we had a fun gathering in our home, for the first time in a long time. I cried. I’m crying now. This isn’t my YL “business”. These are PEOPLE that God placed in our path to love, support, serve, encourage, and educate. I’ve been doing this for 7 1/2 years and plan to do it for at least 7 1/2 more!!! 💜🤍🖤

I bought this petunia planter for myself on Mother’s Day. I have deadheaded and watered her daily. Sometimes twice a day. In return she has brought me so much JOY!!! And when that joy runs out, I have 16 more flowering planters to tend to. 💜💜💜 #addictedtoflowers
