🍃O R E G A N O🍃 . “Oregano repels pathogenic bacteria and parasites in nature, making it a natural antibiotic” You may know Oregano for its fresh or dried counterpart used in Italian cooking, but did you know that Oregano is a natural antibiotic?? This plant is a serious powerhouse when used in oil form. Oregano is one of the most potent and powerful essential oils and has been used for centuries in traditional healthcare practices for its cleansing and immune boosting properties. Due to its high phenol content, Oregano should always be diluted when applied to the skin and never used for more than 10 days consecutively. Oregano acts as an enhancer and equalizer in essential oil blends and can help support respiratory and immune functions when taken internally. There are a lot of people who enjoy using this oil in cooking - personally I find it too strong so it stays in my medicine cupboard for when its time to play hard ball with germs 🦠 Oregano can be used; 🍃daily to maintain healthy immune and respiratory functions 🍃to fight seasonal threats (check out FLOOM post a few back) 🍃to soothe and clear skin blemishes like warts and skin tags 🍃to ward off stubborn coughs and chest infections 🍃to assist in balancing the body’s inflammatory response 🍃to provide the body with essential antioxidants 🍃to aid digestion and assist the body of ridding foreign invaders 🍃to clear fungal infections 🍃to replace dried oregano in your favourite dish (you only need a toothpick swirl!!!) Oregano is what is considered a ‘hot’ oil and should always be diluted when applying to the skin, applying to the soles of the feet first to test for skin sensitivity. .
