Oregano Oil 1/2 oz.

Uses - Oregano essential oils is a potent oil which is antiseptic and kills parasites, viruses, bacteria and fungus. Inhaled, it is believed to be beneficial for respiratory conditions that are bacterial or viral in nature. It also contains analgesic properties and works as an expectorant. Please note that there is a popular "oregano oil" on the market that is sold in a diluted version. Ours is pure, undiluted oregano and is very potent. We do not recommend taking essential oils internally.Oregano is a good effective sedative. Tests have shown that it is one of the most effective oils to relax brain waves. It is a calm relaxing oil that can ease muscle spasms, stiff joints, coughing, indigestion and menstrual cramps. It has been used as a traditional remedy for digestive upsets, respiratory problems (asthma, bronchitis, coughs, etc.) colds, and flu as well as for inflammations of the mouth and throat. In China it is also used to treat fever, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice and itchy skin conditions. The (diluted) oil has been used externally in herbal medicine for headaches, rheumatism, general aches and pains, and applied to stings and bites. Used as a fragrance component in soaps, colognes and perfumes, especially men’s fragrances. Oregano is also employed to some extent as a flavoring agent, mainly in meat products and pizzas.
