What's the difference between oregano oil and oil of oregano ?

Oregano oil and oregano essential oil are different products that come from the same plant, but are processed differently and have different uses:

Oregano oil

Also known as oil of oregano extract, this oil is extracted from the leaves of the oregano plant using alcohol, carbon dioxide, or heat. It's available in pill, capsule, or liquid form and can be taken as a supplement.

Oregano essential oil

This oil is extracted from the leaves, stems, or flowers of the oregano plant using steam distillation. It's not safe to consume orally without diluting in water and  should only be used in aromatherapy or applied topically with a carrier oil.

Both oregano oil and oregano essential oil contain compounds like carvacrol, thymol, and rosmarinic acid, which have anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, and antifungal properties.

Yes, oregano essential oil is edible, but it must be used with extreme caution. It is highly concentrated and should never be consumed undiluted. Here are some key guidelines if you plan to ingest it:

1. Use a Food-Grade Essential Oil

Ensure that the oregano essential oil is labeled food-grade or safe for internal use.Some essential oils are only meant for external use and may contain additives or solvents.

2. Dilution is Crucial

Oregano essential oil is very potent and can cause irritation or damage to the digestive tract if taken undiluted.

Dilute 1-2 drops in a carrier oil (e.g., olive oil, coconut oil) before ingesting.

Alternatively, mix it into water, tea, or a smoothie 

3. Short-Term Use Only

Oregano oil has strong antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties, but long-term internal use can disrupt gut flora and irritate the stomach lining.

It is best to limit internal use to a few days to a week unless advised otherwise by a health professional.

4. Avoid if Pregnant, Nursing, or on Certain Medications

Oregano oil can act as a blood thinner and may interact with medications like anticoagulants.

It may also stimulate uterine contractions and should be avoided during pregnancy.

From ancient Egypt and Greece, to use in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), essential oil of Origanum vulgare has been used in a variety of ways to support the immune system, gut, and overall health.

Oregano contains compounds called phenols, terpenes, and terpenoids. They have powerful antioxidant properties and are responsible for its 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 anti fungal can also support the immune system and protect against toxins 

Rosmarinic acid: This powerful antioxidant helps protect against damage caused by free radicals 

Studies have also found that carvacrol, one of the main compounds of oregano oil, is very effective against oral Candida.

Oregano essential oil is a powerful, plant-derived oil that may rival antibiotics when it comes to treating or preventing various infections.

Research has also shown that oregano essential oil may be effective against some potentially antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Brimming with antioxidants, Oregano essential oil helps strengthen your immune system while also supporting your general health and well-being. Encourages a healthy immune system and helps fend off free radical damage; Supports upper respiratory health

ASTHMA

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) can be beneficial for asthma due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. Here’s how oregano can help with asthma:

1. Anti-inflammatory Effects: Oregano contains compounds like rosmarinic acid and carvacrol, which have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation in the airways is a key issue in asthma, and reducing inflammation can help alleviate symptoms.

2. Antioxidant Properties: Oregano is rich in antioxidants, which help combat oxidative stress in the lungs. Asthma often involves an increase in oxidative damage to the airway tissues, and antioxidants can help reduce this damage.

3. Bronchodilatory Effects: Some studies suggest that the compounds in oregano may help relax the bronchial muscles, leading to easier breathing during asthma attacks.

4. Antimicrobial Action: Oregano also has antimicrobial properties, which can help prevent respiratory infections that may trigger or worsen asthma symptoms.

5. Mucolytic Effect: Oregano may help in breaking down mucus and clearing the airways, which can be especially helpful for individuals with asthma who experience excess mucus production.

Overall, oregano may provide supportive relief by improving lung function and reducing inflammation, although it’s typically used as part of a broader treatment plan for asthma.

Oregano (Origanum vulgare) offers a wide range of health benefits beyond its potential to help with asthma.

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:

1. Antimicrobial Properties

Oregano contains powerful compounds such as carvacrol and thymol that have strong antimicrobial effects. These compounds can help fight bacteria, viruses, and fungi, making oregano useful for preventing infections and treating conditions like the common cold, sore throat, and even certain skin infections.

2. Antioxidant Rich

Oregano is packed with antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals in the body. Free radicals can cause cellular damage and contribute to aging and the development of chronic diseases like cancer and heart disease.

3. Anti-inflammatory Effects

The compounds in oregano, particularly rosmarinic acid and carvacrol, have anti-inflammatory properties. These can help reduce inflammation in the body, making oregano beneficial for conditions such as arthritis and inflammatory bowel diseases.

4. Supports Digestive Health

Oregano has traditionally been used to improve digestion. It can stimulate bile production, helping with the breakdown of fats, and also reduce bloating, gas, and indigestion. The antimicrobial properties of oregano can also help balance gut flora, promoting a healthy digestive system.

5. Respiratory Support

Oregano oil, in particular, is used as a natural remedy for respiratory issues like coughs, bronchitis, and even sinus infections. Its expectorant properties help in clearing mucus and relieving congestion.

6. Heart Health

Oregano’s antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties may help lower cholesterol levels and protect against heart disease. The herb contains omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to promote cardiovascular health.

7. Anti-cancer Potential

Preliminary studies suggest that oregano may have anti-cancer properties. The carvacrol in oregano has shown some ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in test-tube studies, particularly for colon and breast cancers. However, more research is needed in humans.

8. Blood Sugar Regulation

Some research suggests that oregano may help in regulating blood sugar levels, making it potentially beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes. Oregano can help improve insulin sensitivity and reduce blood sugar spikes.

9. Anti-parasitic

Oregano oil is sometimes used to treat intestinal parasites. Its antimicrobial properties can help fight off parasitic infections, improving gut health.

10. Immune Boosting

Oregano’s vitamins (especially vitamin C), minerals, and potent antioxidants can help boost the immune system, making it more resilient against infections and illness.

Natural products often have inconsistent yields due to several factors, such as environmental conditions, plant variety, soil quality, and harvest timing. These variables affect the concentration of active compounds in each batch, making it difficult to achieve uniformity. Additionally, seasonal changes, climate, and even slight differences in processing methods can further impact yield and potency. This is a common challenge in the natural products industry, especially when producing supplements and herbal remedies that require consistent quality.
