Evidence-Based Benefits
Research suggests oregano may:
Help reduce oxidative stress
Support digestive health
Assist in fighting mild bacterial growth
Support immune function
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.
⚠️ Important Safety Notes
Oregano oil is very concentrated and can irritate the stomach
Not safe for children or pregnant women without medical advice
Overuse can cause digestive problems
️ Best Ways to Use Oregano
Fresh or dried in food
Mild oregano tea
Occasional use as a supplement under guidance
✅ 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.
