How to Use Oregano Essential Oil

Physical benefits of oregano essential oil

Oregano essential oil is one of the top oils to keep in stock and ready as a first choice for supporting the immune system. If the manufacturer and FDA approve your brand for internal use, you can ingest a small amount of this oil diluted in a capsule when spending time public places, family gatherings, on airplanes, and during cold and flu season. Because this oil is very high in phenols, it is best to always dilute it with a carrier oil for both internal and external use. Adding a just a drop or two of oregano to other immune boosting blends will provide a robust immune boost.*

Also useful in easing discomfort from the bones and connective tissue, adding a few drops of oregano essential oil to massage blends will support the muscular-skeletal system. Oregano essential oil encourages the release of pathogens from the nerves and clears fluid congestion from the joints and around the bones. Adding a small amount of oregano oil to other blends is the best way to use this oil.*

Emotional benefits of oregano essential oil

In holistic medicine, emotional health is directly linked to physical health; and the essential oils have similar psychological benefits. Oregano essential oil’s ability to clear out pathogens and congested fluids relates to the release of emotional blockages and disassociating with problematic people so that you can continue along your soul’s journey.*

Microbial pathogens can hide from the immune system and continuously drain the body’s reserves. Negative and emotionally draining people can cause distractions that keep you from reaching your goals and intentions. By applying a few drops of diluted oregano oil to the soles of your feet in the morning, you may find it easier to walk away from distractions and stay focused on the steps needed to achieve your family, career, and financial aspirations.*
