Oil Of Oregano
Planetary Herbals
Overview
Oil of Oregano combines wildcrafted oregano leaf oil, standardized to 70% carvacrol, with extra virgin olive oil. Research suggests carvacrol possesses antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, and oregano oil shows potential benefits for gastrointestinal health and lung function. However, more human clinical trials are necessary to confirm these effects. The olive oil serves as a carrier and may contribute to cardiovascular health.
The Good
Contains carvacrol, a compound with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties.
May help improve gastrointestinal symptoms.
Could improve lung function based on some studies.
The Bad
Potential for skin irritation if used topically without dilution.
Gastrointestinal upset may occur when taken orally.
Limited data on safety during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking immune support, those interested in natural antimicrobial agents, general wellness.
Skip If: You are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a bleeding disorder, or are allergic to plants in the Lamiaceae family (mint, thyme, basil).
