Oregano oil from Pure Herbs Ltd. has antioxidant, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It has a very long use in traditional medicine for treating colds, indigestion and upset stomachs.
Oregano known as Origanum vulgare, oregano is a flowering plant from the same family as mint. It’s often used as an herb to flavor food. Oregano oil, or oil of oregano, comes from the leaves of the oregano plant and has been used in folk medicine for centuries to prevent illness. Today, many people still use it to fight infections and the common cold despite its renowned bitter, unpleasant taste.
Studies show that the plant’s leaves contain a variety of antioxidant compounds, such as phenols, triterpenes, rosmarinic acid, ursolic acid and oleanolic acid. One paper discussed how carvacrol “has emerged for its wide spectrum activity extended to food spoilage or pathogenic fungi, yeast and bacteria as well as human, animal and plant pathogenic microorganisms including drug-resistant and biofilm forming microorganisms.” They have powerful antioxidant properties and are responsible for their fragrance:
- Carvacrol. The most abundant phenol in oregano, it has been shown to stop the growth of several different types of bacteria.
- Thymol. This natural antifungal can also support the immune system and protect against toxins.
- Rosmarinic acid. This powerful antioxidant helps protect against damage caused by free radicals.
These compounds are thought to underlie oregano’s many health benefits.
