Who’d have guessed that this humble plant, growing on mountains around the world, would turn out to be one of the most astonishing, all-purpose remedies man could possibly discover. In this section I’ll be referring mostly to the oil, which is extracted from the plant , but it should be noted that the crude, ground spice itself is also available as a supplement.
Just to clarify, wild oregano is not the same type of oregano spice people use in cooking. This is a specific species of plants which contain carvacrol, the important active ingredient that scientists believe gives it it’s incredible healing properties. Although the herb contains many other compounds, this is the most rigorously tested of the componants. Estimate the Benefits Of Oregano Oil in comparison with other herbs.
Originally released by North American Herb&Spice, this was the brand used for most, if not all, the original testing, and is basically the standard. As with most other supplements, oregano oil was released by many different companies after that, but the quality wasn’t always what it should be. In fact, some supplements weren’t even true wild oregano at all, but rather marjoram. Or, they were farm-grown oregano which contained much less of the healing potential than the wild grown herb. Luckily, in recent years many other reputable companies have released their own wild oregano oil, so I don’t think there is as much need to worry about getting a low-quality or worthless product these days. Of course I’ll leave plenty of links to high-quality products at very reasonable prices.
*Important: If the label doesn’t list carvacrol (and the amount) in the ingredients, then don’t buy that product. You’re looking for at least 60% concentration, although many products now contain as much as 75%.
