Health Note - Oregano Oil

Beloved,

I wish above all things that thou mayest ....be in health, ...

3 John 1:2

"Oregano oil contains an essential compound called carvacrol, which has antimicrobial properties.

The herb has shown antimicrobial activity in a number of studies. One group of researchers found that Origanum vulgare essential oils were effective against 41 strains of the food pathogen Listeria monocytogenes.
Another team from India and the United Kingdom (U.K.) reported that the essential oil of Himalayan oregano has strong antibacterial properties that may protect against the hospital superbug, MRSA.
Scientists from Germany and Switzerland identified an active ingredient in oregano, known as beta-caryophyllin (E-BCP), which may help treat disorders such as osteoporosis and arteriosclerosis. E-BCP is a dietary cannabinoid.
Oregano essential oil, made from Origanum vulgare or Thymus capitatus, may help with the following problems:

• Foot or nail fungus: Put a few drops in water and soak the feet in it, or apply diluted oil topically to the affected area.
• Sinus infections and colds: Use a few drops in a steam bath and inhale.

Any essential oil should be diluted before use, either with a carrier oil, such as olive oil, or in water, as for a steam bath."
