Help preserve food naturally (antimicrobial effect)

 

Oregano oil is sometimes studied for antimicrobial use, but always under controlled conditions.

 

Claims That Are Not Scientifically Proven

There is no clinical evidence that oregano:

 

Cures herpes or viral infections

 

Eliminates parasites in humans

 

Treats UTIs or bladder infections

 

Heals arthritis or nerve pain

 

Cures candida overgrowth internally

 

Using oregano instead of proper treatment can delay recovery and worsen health outcomes.

✅ Conclusion

Oregano is a nutrient-rich, beneficial herb with real antimicrobial properties, but it is not a medicine or cure. The most powerful use of oregano is as part of a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, not as a replacement for medical care.
