What the research says

Carvacrol, the main active in oregano oil, has been studied in laboratory research for its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Most of this work is early-stage (test-tube and lab studies), so oil of oregano is best understood as a traditional wellness botanical rather than a medicine.

How to use

Aromatherapy: add 3–5 drops to a diffuser with water; diffuse 15–30 minutes. Great for steam inhalation too (2–3 drops in a bowl of hot water).

Topical: always dilute — 1–2 drops in a tablespoon of carrier oil (coconut or olive); patch-test first before applying to the skin.

Internal (adults only, under qualified guidance): 1–3 drops in a teaspoon of olive oil, once or twice daily, followed by a full glass of water. Start low to check tolerance.

Natural home cleaner: add 10–15 drops to a spray bottle of water (plus a little vinegar) for a natural surface wipe.

Cautions: Oil of oregano is extremely strong and must always be diluted before use — never take or apply it neat. Adults only; not for internal use in children under 15. Not recommended during pregnancy or nursing. Do a skin patch test before topical use. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep away from pets and out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended amount.
