💚OREGANO OIL RECIPE DETAILS:
Ingredients
▪️Dried Organic Oregano Leaves
(RATIO OF OREGANO TO OIL: Add one part of dried herb to three parts of oil. For example, 1/4 cup of dried herb with 3/4 cup of oil.)
▪️Carrier Oil such as Coconut Oil Or Organic Olive Oil
Oregano oil is best used short term, not daily. Because it’s very potent, think of it as something you reach for occasionally rather than something to take all the time.
HOW TO TAKE IT:
Oregano oil is very concentrated and should never be taken straight.
Option 1: With a carrier oil
-Add 1 drop of oregano oil to 1 tablespoon olive oil or coconut oil
Take by mouth, or mix into a small amount of food
This is the gentlest option for digestion.
Option 2: In liquid
-Add 1 drop to 4–6 oz warm water, herbal tea, or juice
Stir well and drink
You can also add a little honey to soften the taste.
How often to use it
Use for 5 to 10 days at a time
Take 1–2 times per day, depending on strength and form
Why not to overuse it
Oregano oil is antimicrobial, which means too much can disrupt beneficial gut bacteria
Long-term daily use may irritate the digestive tract
More is not better with concentrated herbal oils
Best approach
Use oregano oil intentionally, in short windows, alongside good nutrition and rest, not as a constant supplement.
Homemade oregano oil offers several health benefits, thanks to the powerful compounds found in oregano. Here are the key benefits, explained simply but backed by science:
1. Fights Harmful Germs🦠
Oregano oil contains compounds like carvacrol and thymol, which have strong antibacterial and antifungal properties. These compounds can help fight off harmful bacteria, yeast, and fungi that cause infections.
2. Boosts the Immune System😷
The antioxidants in oregano oil, such as rosmarinic acid, protect your cells from damage caused by free radicals. This helps strengthen your immune system, making it easier to fight off colds, flu, and other illnesses.
3. Supports Digestive Health 🤍
Oregano oil may help kill bad bacteria in your gut, like Helicobacter pylori, which can cause stomach problems. It can also support a healthy balance of gut bacteria, improving digestion and reducing bloating.
4. Reduces Inflammation 🔥
The anti-inflammatory properties of oregano oil can help reduce swelling and discomfort in the body. This can be especially useful for issues like sore throats, muscle aches, or minor skin irritations.
5. Relieves Respiratory Issues🫁
Oregano oil can act as a natural decongestant and expectorant, helping to clear mucus and soothe symptoms of respiratory infections like coughs, colds, or sinusitis.
6. Promotes Skin Health 🧴
When diluted and applied topically, oregano oil can help treat skin infections, minor wounds, or acne due to its antimicrobial properties.
Why Make It at Home?
Homemade oregano oil ensures you get a pure, natural product without added chemicals or preservatives. Plus, it’s cost-effective and easy to customize with your choice of carrier oil.
