Oregano oil is an essential oil derived from the leaves and flowering tops of the oregano plant, scientifically known as Origanum vulgare or Origanum compactum. Oregano is a culinary herb commonly used in Mediterranean cuisine, and it is also known for its potential health benefits.

The oil is typically extracted from oregano through steam distillation, resulting in a highly concentrated liquid with a strong, spicy, and herbaceous aroma.

Here are some common uses and benefits of oregano oil:

Immune support: Oregano oil is rich in compounds such as carvacrol and thymol, which have antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. It is believed to support the immune system and help fight off infections caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi.

Respiratory health: Oregano oil is often used to support respiratory health and relieve symptoms of coughs, colds, and respiratory infections. Inhaling oregano oil through steam inhalation or diffusing it in the air can help clear the airways and promote easier breathing.

Digestive health: Oregano oil is believed to have digestive benefits and can help alleviate symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and stomach upset. It may also help support gut health by promoting a healthy balance of gut bacteria.

Skin care: Oregano oil is sometimes used in skincare products for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It can help combat acne, reduce inflammation, and soothe irritated skin when diluted properly and used in moderation.

Food preservation: Oregano oil is sometimes used as a natural preservative in food products due to its antimicrobial properties. It can help inhibit the growth of bacteria and fungi, extending the shelf life of perishable foods.
