Oregano is so much more than a culinary herb. The volatile oil contained inside the plant has been valued for its medicinal qualities since ancient times. The extracted oil is said to be more powerful than the dried herb. The extracted volatile oil is the source of virtually all of the plant's medicinal properties. Oregano oil is valued as an antimicrobial, inhibiting the growth of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites, and as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and preventing damage to cell structure due to oxidation.* Oregano oil is also a digestive aid, as it stimulates the secretion of digestive juices, which help to breakdown food particles and promote nutrient absorption.* When applied topically in a diluted form, oregano oil can be used as an antiseptic for minor skin wounds and insect bites, or as a pain reliever for toothaches and joint pain.*
