The following benefits can be obtained from taking oregano oil:

• Strengthens the immune system

• Acts favorably in asthma and bronchitis

How does the product work?
The Staphylococcus aureus bacterium is one of the most common causes of infections in the human body and can cause stomach discomfort and skin problems. Research on oregano oil leads to the conclusion that its intake improves the body's defenses against the effect of the Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. Studies have also shown that this natural ingredient can be effective against bacteria that are not affected by antibiotic treatment. These include Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, both of which are common causes of urinary and respiratory infections. Oregano oil also has an antifungal effect and can be used as adjunctive therapy for candida infection, the most common fungal infection in humans. The phenols carvacrol and thymol contained in oregano oil have been proven to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol and increase the good. Studies have also shown that oregano has a much greater antioxidant effect than other herbs and extremely effectively blocks the action of free radicals, whose accumulation may lead to cardiac and oncological diseases. Oregano oil is also used in case of intestinal parasites (Blastocystis hominis, Entamoeba hartmanni and Endolimax nana) by removing unpleasant symptoms such as diarrhea, pain and bloating. Natural compounds in this product also strengthen the intestinal walls and reduce the risk of bacteria and toxins passing into the circulation.
