Wild Oregano was used in ancient times to support relaxed digestion, respiratory, and immune function and for its antioxidant properties.
Solgar Wild Oregano Oil naturally contains the phenolic constituent carvacrol and thymol, which are thought to be primarily responsible for the benefits associated with oregano. Carvacrol and thymol have been shown to inhibit the growth of various bacteria and fungi and may be supportive of a good balance in intestinal microflora and healthy digestion.
Solgar Wild Oregano has potent antioxidant properties and also includes triterpenoids such as oleanolic acid, sterols, beta carotene and vitamin C.
- Oregano oil is derived from the leaves and flowers of the oregano plant (Origanum vulgare). It has been used for centuries due to its potential health benefits.
While the following benefits are often associated with oregano oil, it's important to note that scientific research is ongoing, and individual results may vary: - Antimicrobial Properties: Oregano oil is known for its potent antimicrobial properties, primarily due to a compound called carvacrol. It may help combat various bacteria, fungi, and parasites, potentially supporting the immune system in fighting infections.
- Immune System Support: Oregano oil contains antioxidants, including phenols, flavonoids, and vitamins, which can help support the immune system. By promoting immune function, it may aid in defending against common illnesses.
- Respiratory Health: The antimicrobial properties of oregano oil can also benefit respiratory health. It may help alleviate symptoms associated with respiratory conditions, such as coughs, colds, bronchitis, and sinus infections.
- Digestive Aid: Oregano oil has been traditionally used as a digestive aid. It may help relieve symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and gastrointestinal issues. Some evidence suggests it could combat certain types of harmful bacteria in the gut.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Oregano oil contains compounds that possess anti-inflammatory properties, such as rosmarinic acid and beta-caryophyllene. These properties may help reduce inflammation and provide relief from associated symptoms.
- Antioxidant Activity: Oregano oil is rich in antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress caused by free radicals in the body. By neutralizing free radicals, it may help protect cells from damage and support overall health.
It's important to note that oregano oil is highly concentrated and potent. It should be used cautiously, following proper dosage guidelines, and consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking medications.
