Best Natural Herbal Remedies for Candida albicans

Mother Nature’s remedy that rivals modern antibiotic drugs

I want to introduce you to one of the best natural herbal remedies Mother Nature produces! — Oil of Oregano.

Oil of Oregano is a highly potent purifier that provides numerous benefits for your health. It’s a natural substance extracted from wild oregano plants, and Oil of Oregano has two key compounds: carvacrol and thymol.

University studies have shown both of these compounds have remarkable effects on harmful microorganisms (germs and bacteria) that cause many illnesses.

Don’t confuse Oil of Oregano with common oregano that you use as a spice for cooking. They’re two different plants. Common oregano is typically Origanum Marjoram, while Oil of Oregano is derived from Origanum Vulgare. The oregano sold in stores and nurseries is usually marjoram aka common oregano. You can get the seed and grow them in your back yard from this Amazon company.

You can purchase Oil of Oregano as a liquid or capsules/tablets. In both forms, and the most important, is to verify the oil is derived from the proper oregano plant, and the carvacrol concentration is at least 70%. That means it was harvested from the proper plant.

The Major Benefits of Oil of Oregano

The ancient Greeks were the first people to recognize oregano oil for its health benefits and medicinal qualities. It’s proven to be a potent antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiparasitic oil that reduce pain and inflammation and fights off infections.

Special Benefits of Oil of Oregano

  • Strengthens the immune system
  • Increases joint and muscle flexibility
  • Improves respiratory health
  • Destroys organisms that contribute to skin infections and digestive problems

How to Use of Oil of Oregano

Skin Infections

Apply Oil of Oregano directly on your skin to treat itches, skin infections, and in your mouth for irritated gums and canker sores, but only if it has been diluted. Always follow the instructions on the bottle before applying to your skin.

You can mix Oil of Oregano with olive oil or coconut oil before applying directly to your skin (usually one teaspoon of olive oil or coconut oil per one drop of Oil of Oregano). Depending on the person, the undiluted oil might burn and make the sores worse.

How it helps Digestive Problems

The high concentrations of thymol and carvacrol in Oil of Oregano have been shown to calm upset stomachs and aid digestion. Therefore, a quick natural remedy for mild indigestion is to drink a glass of milk or juice mixed with 2 or 3 drops of the oil.

Sinus Congestion

Oil of Oregano has long been used as a natural remedy for sinus or lung congestion. Simply mix 2 or 3 drops of oil with juice, and drink daily. Improvements are normally noticed within 3-5 days.

Colds and Sore Throats

Oil of Oregano is an excellent early defense mechanism when you feel a cold or sore throat coming on. Simply take 3 drops of Oregano Oil once per day (mix with glass of orange juice) and you should notice results within a few hours. Repeat this once per day for up to 5 days until the symptoms are gone.

What are the Side Effects of Oil of Oregano?

While Oil of Oregano has many benefits, depending on the person there are a few possible side effects:
Oregano oil may reduce the body’s ability to absorb iron. So if you take it for prolong periods you should take a supplement of iron. If you’re pregnant you shouldn’t take it regularly. Check with your doctor.

If you have allergies to thyme, basil, mint, or sage you may be sensitive to Oil of Oregano. They are in the same family of plants. If any skin irritation, rashes, or vomiting occurs when using it, then stop using it and check with your doctor.

You can get Oil of Oregano at almost any natural health or nutrition store, or from online retailers such as Amazon.com or you can get it where I get mine at Mountain Rose.

REMEMBER: It has to come from Origanum Vulgare, and carvacrol concentration should be at least 70%.

Enjoy…until next thyme :)

I agree with you about oil of oregano. It can really do wonders in our body. The two compounds, carvarcol and thymol act as free radical scavengers, also known as antioxidants, in the body. They actually attract and neutralize free radicals in the body.
