How to purchase and use oregano oil

You can get oregano leaf extract in some organic stores, or stores that sell natural products.  Pay attention to the product’s quality, and preferably, purchase organic because they won’t be diluted and they will preserve their medicinal properties.  To recognize good quality oil, it must give off a strong aroma (just one drop can fill an entire room with its smell).  Its odor is acrid and lasts on the skin for one or two days.  This might be a little inconvenient for treating some muscle or arthritis pain, if used in massage.

  • To treat infections, fungi and pain, dilute 2 to 4 drops in half a glass of warm water and drink.
  • For molar pain, sprains or other muscular pains, you can apply 1 or 2 drops of extract to a cotton ball moistened with a little bit of warm water (not too moist), and apply on the painful area.
  • For molars, it’s best to use cotton and leave it over the painful molar for a while, after first having rubbed the affected molar.
  • To treat rheumatic pains, use three parts almond oil for one part oregano oil.  Gently massage the area in your body that has arthritis.
  • For colds, sore throats, stuffy noses, etc., take a few deep breaths of oregano oil.  This will be sufficient for cleaning your nose and throat.

Caution:

This oil is not recommended for pregnant women.

Other uses for oregano oil:

Used to preserve meat in a good state and to prevent early rotting.
